A Quote by Dar Williams
I went from having three little jobs that I strung together to being on the road full-time; having some savings that my managers told me to spend.

Being in New York and having worked at Time Out New York and then being at Time, living in New York for a long time has helped because I know everybody.

I was shooting on The Mindy Project while I was editing Alex of Venice, which was the stupidest thing I could've done. It was like having two full-time jobs. But in editing some characters were dropped, some storylines were dropped. It just starts dictating what it's supposed to be.It's scary, but fun to try to be brave and to "kill your darlings." To get rid of the stuff that you were like, "Oh, I'll never get rid of that. I love that. As long of a take as it is, I'm gonna keep that in."

I've learned from the past that it's important to recharge and get time in-between jobs, and if I can't get time in-between jobs then when I know I've got some time coming up at the end of a job, really try and take advantage of that. And do very mundane things at home and putter in the garden and spend time with family and make music and, you know, play with the dogs. Just get back to being me.

I think it's to do what's important to you, and having a lot of people - hopefully - listening to your work.
