“Gia sent for her mother and they took an apartment, just a seven-minute walk from the studio."We had just one room when I started.No furniture of our own.No nothing,"Gia said later."It was a small cubbyhole of an apartment near Universal".Her mother adjusted to Hollywood."She liked it for my sake.She never did really feel at home here.I think it's hard for people who just live here to feel at home.There is no life really.You're looking for parts,or trying to get a good part instead of a wrong one.”

“Acceptance does not mean you lay back and let Life have its way with you. It is not a path of hopeless acquiescence or defeated inaction, nor does it imply that you will ignore hardship or injustice (yours or others’). It simply means that you understand and acknowledge the facts of a given moment. You, as the old saying goes, let reality be reality. And after you accept “it,” whatever that is in each moment or situation, you can decide if or how you will respond.”

“...science is not only about building carefully-constructed theories that explain general phenomena. It is also, and primarily, about distinguishing good explanations from bad ones. This is where traditional history has been deficient. Historians have created, and continue to create, new explanations, but they are not in the business of testing them with data.”

“For the same reason there is nowhere to begin to trace the sheaf or the graphics of differance. For what is put into question is precisely the quest for a rightful beginning, an absolute point of departure, a principal responsibility. The problematic of writing is opened by putting into question the value of the arkhe. What I will propose here will not be elaborated simply as a philosophical discourse, operating according to principles, postulates, axioms, or definitions, and proceeding along the discursive lines of a linear order of reasons. In the delineation of differance everything is strategic and adventurous. Strategic because no transcendent truth present outside the field of writing can govern theologically the totality of the field. Adventurous because this strategy is a not simple strategy in the sense that strategy orients tactics according to a final goal, a telos or theme of domination, a mastery and ultimate reappropriation of the development of the field. Finally, a strategy without finality, what might be called blind tactics, or empirical wandering if the value of empiricism did not itself acquire its entire meaning in opposition to philosophical responsibility. If there is a certain wandering in the tracing of differance, it no more follows the lines of philosophical-logical discourse than that of its symmetrical and integral inverse, empirical-logical discourse. The concept of play keeps itself beyond this opposition, announcing, on the eve of philosophy and beyond it, the unity of chance and necessity in calculations without end.”
