“I think that what I was talking about was that as a woman growing up in a Mormon tradition in Salt Lake City, Utah, we were taught - and we are still led to believe - that the most important value is obedience. But that obedience in the name of religion or patriotism ultimately takes our souls. So I think it's this larger issue of what is acceptable and what is not; where do we maintain obedience and law and where do we engage in civil disobedience - where we can cross the line physically and metaphorically and say, "No, this is no longer appropriate behavior."” ThinkingBelieveStillsImportantSoulLawValuesNamesLinesCitiesTalkingGrowing UpIssuesGrowingTaughtBehaviorTraditionCrossesObedienceAppropriateLakesAcceptableSaltDisobedienceCivil DisobedienceUtahSalt Lake CityImportant ValuesAppropriate Behavior Author:Terry Tempest Williams

“I don't think there's anything that I would really baulk at doing on-screen. I don't think so. I've got certain pet peeves about writing... my pet peeve about reading scripts is when they give you a line reading and there'll be a line but next to your character's name it'll say 'very angry'.
