Writing is a form of running away. Running away to a place you made by your own hand.
My style of writing is to allow the story to unfold on its own. I try not to structure my work too rigidly.
We can create the ultimate job security by becoming less dependent on the organization for which we work and more dependent on our own resources.
Create your own method. Don't depend slavishly on mine. Make up something that will work for you! But keep breaking traditions, I beg you.
Once you work with a studio on a film, the studio is sort of like this enormous clam that just opens, takes everything and then closes, and no one enters again. They own it all.
I listen a lot. I think people have their own answers, and if you just listen to someone and agree with them, eventually they'll work it out for themselves.
Often the work of the Lord itself may be a temptation to keep us from that communion with Him which is so essential to the benefit of our own souls.
I want people to understand my journey and to be inspired by that. You can be an immigrant, and if you work really hard, you can have your own restaurant.

My husband and I own half a dozen iPods, a Mac desktop, and four Mac laptops. We're clearly fans of Mr. Jobs' work.

It is very frightening to see a resurgence of the old mores, or lack thereof, regarding women's rights to their own bodies.
I know the disposition of women: when you will, they won't; when you won't, they set their hearts upon you of their own inclination.
I have the right to shine my light! That's what all women have. Once you own that, you can almost always shine your light.
What we need is more women writers, writing for older women. There are some actresses who have production companies and create their own material, and I truly admire that.
Many poor and low-income women cannot afford to purchase contraceptive services and supplies on their own.
I look forward to the day when there are more women politicians accepted in their own right and not as 'women politicians.'
My whole drive to be an actor was finding roles that I really believed represent modern women, the struggles that we deal with. Women who are strong and capable and in control of their own lives.
Empathy is really the opposite of spiritual meanness. It's the capacity to understand that every war is both won and lost. And that someone else's pain is as meaningful as your own.
Our pre-9/11 gun laws allow our enemies in the War on Terror to arm themselves right here in our own country.
