“People ask, 'Why would you cast yourself in your movie?' And, for me, it's more like an achievement that I am now not playing all the parts, you know? Like I was for so long, in all my performances and a lot of my short movies. So, that's where I'm coming from, not out of a kind of actress-y sense of myself. I mean, I don't really see myself as an actress, but more from performance: this is how you make something. You do it yourself. You're in it and you write it. I think I keep doing it that way, 'cause it's my way. It's what makes me feel like I know how to do it.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWayFeelsWritingKindMeanLongAsksCausesKnow HowAchievementPerformancesCastsActressesMy WayDo It Yourself Author:Miranda July

“The generality of mankind is lazy. What distinguishes men of genuine achievement from the rest of us is not so much their intellectual powers and aptitudes as their curiosity, their energy, their fullest use of their potentialities. Nobody really knows how smart or talented he is until he finds the incentives to use himself to the fullest. God has given us more than we know what to do with.” KnowsMenUseEnergyGivenKnow HowMankindAchievementIntellectualSmartCuriosityGenuineLazyIncentivesAptitudeGeneralities Author:Sydney J. Harris
