Frances McDormand

There are some tales not for telling, whether because they are too long, too precious, too laughable, too painful, too easy to need telling or too hard to explain. After all, after years and travels my secrets are all I have left to chew on in the night.

Emma Donoghue

Helen Fisher

Comedy in the past hasn't spoken to women because it wasn't written by women, and male writers don't make women three-dimensional characters.

Michaela Coel

I hate a song that makes you think that you are not any good. I hate a song that makes you think that you are just born to lose. Bound to lose. No good to nobody. No good for nothing. Because you are too old or too young or too fat or too slim too ugly or too this or too that.

Since a camera is something too heavy for women and initially made for men, you need a good cameraman.

When spiritual seeking becomes too complicated, its exercies too elaborated, its doctrines too esoteric, it becomes also too artificial and the resulting achievements too fabricated. It is the beginners and intermediates who carry this heavy and unnecessary burden, who involve themselves to the point of becoming neurotics.

Paul Brunton

There are some actresses that can't do comedy; it's too heavy-handed.

We are all too often told by someone that we are too old, too young, too different, too much the same, and those comments can be devastating.

I like comedy but I guess I don't think [my art] is that funny, either. It's too dark and a bit weird in places to be genuinely, uniformly hilarious and function as comedy.
