“Being an actress wasn't a plan at all, so what's happened to me is very strange. Life isn't very normal, even though I'm still very much a normal girl. I ride the subway, I ride the bus, and all of that.” StillsGirlPlansHappenedStrangeNormalActressesBusSubway Author:Gabourey Sidibe
“I've always wanted a normal life, and this is what I got. Being an actress wasn't a plan at all, so what's happened to me is very strange. Life isn't very normal, even though I'm still very much a normal girl. I ride the subway, I ride the bus, and all of that. It's the people around me that have changed. I love when I go to a restaurant and I walk past, and everyone waves. That's always really funny. It's strange. It just goes to show that whatever plan you have for your life, you are wrong, a lot of times.” PeopleStillsShowsWantedPastGirlWalksPlansHappenedChangedStrangeNormalWaveActressesRestaurantsBusSubwayNormal Life Author:Gabourey Sidibe

“Someone wrote to me asking me to illustrate a missed connection that "hasn't happened yet." This guy has seen the same girl waiting at a bus stop on his morning commute for weeks, and has been trying to find a way to approach her. He thought it would be fun to put up a Missed Connections poster [of my painting] on the corner where she waits and see what happens. It is kind of an intriguing idea but there's something a bit too manipulative about it for my liking. It's a fine line between being creative and stalking!” WayTryingKindHas BeensIdeasHappensWould BeGuyGirlFunBitsWaitingLinesMorningCreativeHappenedWeekPaintingFineApproachConnectionsAskingCornersBusBe CreativeThis GuyIntriguingPostersStalkingFine LinesManipulativeBus StopsMissed Connections Author:Sophie Blackall
“Oftentimes, a funny situation is funny because it's uncomfortable or weird. The most memorable stories, or the stuff that you repeat to your friends, it's not like, "Oh, I had a pleasant day, nothing happened on the bus today." It's when strange things happen, when you become uncomfortable or knocked out of your own reality, those are the things that are interesting.” StoriesRealityHappensTodayStuffInterestingSituationHappenedStrangeThings HappenUncomfortableMemorablePleasantRepeatsBusStrange ThingsMost MemorablePleasant Day Author:John C.

“I've come to some balance now and calmness. If anything happened to me and I got hit by a bus - I hope this doesn't happen, but if something happened - my body of work is something I could rest on.
