“I think it’s a great time for women in TV and film in general, and I want to help tell these stories.”

Just had to keep debugging by isolating a problem, looking at memory in the limited debugging (weaker than the DOS DEBUG and no symbols) patch and retry and then re-program, download and try again. And again.

If I don’t take care of myself and be kind to myself, then I can’t take care of anyone else.

I think when my son was a baby I got used to not getting enough sleep, rushing and skipping meals, and feeling tired a lot of the time.

I would say, being a parent is what makes me vulnerable. Loving someone so much it scares you.

It’s so weird, not knowing what your life is going to be. I’m being optimistic. And when ‘Leverage’ comes to an end, I have lots of ideas for other things. You can’t really sit and wait for things to come to you.

It’s important for me to play women who can overcome adversity, make change, and take control of their lives.

I find that if I use my time well and take care of my mind/body when I’m outside of work, then I feel more supported throughout my day. So, instead of waking up and going straight for my cell phone or running to the gym.

I find that if I use my time well and take care of my mind/body when I’m outside of work, then I feel more supported throughout my day.

If something boils up under stress later, I remind myself to breathe and focus back to how I decided my day was going to go. It’s simple but it works.

Passion. Confidence. Gratitude. The possibility of making positive change in the world. It’s the sort of “spark” one gets the moment they decide to go after what they want, really fight for it, work hard, and not give up. I love that spark; it’s beautifully contagious.

I am drawn to roles that are strong, intelligent, and a little edgy.

If I don’t take care of myself and be kind to myself, then I can’t take care of anyone else.

I enjoy doing fun things outdoors with my son to stay in shape. We like camping together. After a weekend in the woods, I’m sorer than after a week at the gym!

I was really active as a kid. I was outdoors constantly.

There is something delicious about writing the first words of a story. You never quite know where they’ll take you.

My stories do have plot. They’re not just scattered language; they’re controlled, toward an end.

The story of my billion-dollar business starts like this. I borrowed $1,000 from a friend.

Every fighter has a story that could break your heart. We lose, we get hurt and everything comes apart. That’s when it’s so difficult to stay on the straight and narrow.

Historians who stuff in every item of research they have found, every shoelace and telephone call of a biographical subject, are not doing the hard work of selecting and shaping a readable story.

You have to be a really talented writer if you’re trying to encapsulate a news story with a song and have it live after the event. I don’t have the focus to do that, really.

Notice that the whole story of Eden is the story of the struggle over a woman’s relationship to a psychoactive plant.

Those two volleys really could be the story of this match summed up at the end of it.
