The creative process for me doesn't work as well without an image of an audience in mind.
As an actor to watch an audience of people howl together in a single mind as a result of work you've done together with friends is a privilege.
I'm so critical of my own work that it's difficult for me to disassociate myself and watch it as an audience.
Women can't be afraid to look like action heroes. It's not always pretty, but when it's on the screen, it translates well to the audience.
A motion picture, or music, or television, they have to maintain a certain decorum in order to be broadcast to a vast audience. Other forms of mass media cost too much to produce a risk reaching only a limited audience. Only one person. But a book. ....

See, admit it, you need my help.” “Fine. I need you… your help.” My admission made Ace’s half smile bloom into a full one. He really was devastatingly handsome. And so very, very unattainable. “What makes you say that, Riles?” His thumb...
I wonder where he lies. Wedged under a rock, with a thousand small mouths already sucking on his spongy flesh. Or floating still, on and down, on and down, to wider, calmer reaches of the river. I see them gathering: the drowned, the shot. Their hand...
