Way
(page 16)
I am a person who believes in asking questions, in not conforming for the sake of conforming. I am deeply dissatisfied — about so many things, about injustice, about the way the world works — and in some ways, my dissatisfaction drives my storytelling.
I found there was only one way to look thin: hang out with fat people.
When I'm traveling, I always look for a dance studio. It's a great workout and a wonderful way to meet new friends in the community.
I am a firm believer in if you can't get it the old fashioned way, you don't need it.
No better way is there to learn to love Nature than to understand Art. It dignifies every flower of the field. And, the boy who sees the thing of beauty which a bird on the wing becomes when transferred to wood or canvas will probably not throw the customary stone.
I have no problem with someone who disagrees with my life. That's your right to feel that way.
Before you get a dog, you can't quite imagine what living with one might be like; afterward, you can't imagine living any other way.
When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way.
There's a way to do it better — find it.
My pitching philosophy is simple — keep the ball way from the bat.
If you want to stand with me as a single mom — and I know so many of my friends and colleagues do — please don't appropriate my burden as a way to validate your own. To suggest that you are single-parenting when you are simply solo for the weekend devalues what real single mothers do.
My family and high school friends were the only people who were with me every step of the way through my mothers' illness. They sat by my side year after year and consoled me. If they ever sent me a bill, I would be paying them off for the rest of my life.
Most comedy is based on getting a laugh at somebody else's expense. And I find that that's just a form of bullying in a major way. So I want to be an example that you can be funny and be kind, and make people laugh without hurting somebody else's feelings.
The way I was raised, family was always the most important. When I had our first daughter, Natasha, I knew that's what I wanted to do.
The best way out is always through.
It's amazing. Life changes very quickly, in a very positive way, if you let it.
A lot of people preach and talk, but I think the only way to preach is to actually do things.
You can look in the mirror and find a million things wrong with yourself. Or you can look in the mirror and think, 'I feel good, I have my health, and I'm so blessed'. That's the way I choose to look at it.
I am someone who can't hold on to negativity or hold on to grudges. I might feel something at a certain point, but I get tired after that. I don't carry it with me. I forgive and forget very easily, and that's the only way to be happy and peaceful.
Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.
