"Jealousy always has been my cross, the weakness and woundedness in me that has most often caused me to feel ugly and unlovable, like the Bad Seed. Iâ€™ve had many years of recovery and therapy, years filled with intimate and devoted friendships, yet I still struggle. I know that when someone gets a big slice of pie, it doesnâ€™t mean thereâ€™s less for me. In fact, I know that there isnâ€™t even a pie, that thereâ€™s plenty to go around, enough food and love and air. But I donâ€™t believe it for a second. I secretly believe thereâ€™s a pie. I will go to my grave brandishing my fork."

They want a film to chew their food for them, they want Hollywood endings that tie everything together in the end and answer all of the questions. They are usually people on one extreme of the political spectrum or other and they haven't been happy because the film is not polemical enough on their side. They aren't usually people who aren't interested in understanding points of view that they disagree with - they just want to attack their opponents - and I'm ok with them not liking the film.”
“Being a professional does not have a very high standard.”
“We clung to books and to our friends; they reminded us that we had another part to us.”
