“To me, it's a little odd to ever think 'model into actor.' I modeled once. I was about as far from a decent model as you can possibly be. I did not enjoy the world at all. I fell in my stilettos quite a bit.” ThinkingWorldLittlesActorsBitsEnjoyModelsOddDecentStilettos Author:Analeigh Tipton
“When I started 70 odd years ago I was told that to be a success you've got to have talent, personality and luck. I've had 99.9 percent luck and the other miniscule percentage would be having had the luck to have a little bit of talent, being able to stand upright and that's it. It's all luck.” YearsLittlesWould BeAbleBitsTalentPersonalityLittle BitPercentYears AgoLuckOddPercentages Author:Roger Moore
“Fiction -- at least for me -- requires long, relatively uninterrupted time stretches in which to bring it to fruition. I've never been a two-hour-in-the-morning writer, who could put in another six hours on Sunday afternoon. For me, a novel requires weeks of living in a largely mental and wholly internal landscape. Everything else has to be relegated to the odd hour here, the bit of time there. Sadly, however, uninterrupted time blocks are not what life doles out today to any of us with regularity.” LongTwoTodayBitsHoursFictionMorningNovelWeekSixBlockLandscapeOddInternalsSundayAfternoonRegularityFruitionSunday Afternoons Book:Conversations with Samuel R.

“When I played football was somewhat taboo for a girl. Today it's not as much of a problem.

“The Bible is forbidding when you start to read it. The language is odd. The stories start and stop herkily-jerkily. The characters behave in inexplicable ways. It takes a little bit of time to get into the rhythm of the book. I found reading the first 15 chapters of Genesis very very difficult. Once I got past there, I loved reading, and found it very easy. When you get used to the Bible, it becomes thrilling to read (like any great book - I just had exactly the same experience with the Odyssey).” WayFirstsLittlesBookCharacterStoriesPastUsedReadingFoundLanguageEasyBitsDifficultLittle BitRhythmOddBehaveChaptersThrillingGenesisGreat BookInexplicableOdyssey Author:David Plotz
“It's a little bit odd. The first time you do the play, you kind of throw yourself into it, trying to get the most out of all the individual moments.
