The kind of improv that I'm particularly addicted to is the kind that... aims at creating a momentary, fragmentary experience that has a totality to it. It's kind of like fireworks. It's the more ephemeral of art forms - once it's gone, it's gone, baby.
I brought babkallah to a party and people freaked. They hovered over like it was a newborn baby, oo-ing and ah-ing. Its beauty didn't prevent them, however, from devouring the entire thing within minutes. It makes a lovely hostess gift, as it's both novel and delicious.
Don't forget that compared to a grownup person every baby is a genius. Think of the capacity to learn! The freshness, the temperament, the will of a baby a few months old!
An ugly baby is a very nasty object - and the prettiest is frightful.
When we do 'Sports Illustrated,' it starts the night before. You do a St. Tropez tan that night, then baby oil gel, then body color.
The whole point of Gen X was, and continues to be, a negation of being forced into Baby Boomerdom against one's will.
Life's short, so if you're going to spend months doing something, it's gotta be pretty special... But I'm very happy to enter my Baby Jane years, and hopefully segue into the Ruth Gordon years.
I have a very broad demographic, from the 8-year-old who knows every word to 'Ice Ice Baby' and the college kid who grew up on 'Ninja Rap' to the soccer mom and grandparent.
There is no dream of love, however ideal it may be, which does not end up with a fat, greedy baby hanging from the breast.
I am a mother and I know the feeling of having a baby come out of my gut.
I have a ton of broken baby hairs in front. It just comes with the territory of being a soccer player.
I didn't expect to be so comfortable handing my child off to a nanny without getting any of her information. As soon as she arrived at my house, I threw my baby in her arms and went to Target.
My sister gave my two-and-a-half year old this book called 'And Tango Makes Three,' about the gay penguin couple at the Central Park Zoo. They cared for an orphan egg 'til it hatched and then raised the baby penguin as their own. I cannot get through this book without copious amounts of tears and snot running down my face.
I am sure having a baby around a working environment changes the tone a little bit.
Kim Kardashian was the first time I've seen a woman tormented about her weight gain while having a baby. But at least she asks for that attention by voluntarily obsessing over her weight publicly on her social media. But now nobody is safe.
I wasn't going to shy away from getting married when I did and having a baby young and starting a family, even with the job that I chose.
Sometimes writing a novel is not unlike having a baby. You'd have to ask a female novelist to compare the pain.
Somehow I am really relaxed within the chaos of having a baby - and anyone who's a mother knows it's very hard to relax, because there is so much to do and worry about!
Having a baby will put your marriage through the ringer, and if you're lucky, you'll come out the other end stronger for it.
A woman can tell me about her having a baby, but I'll never know what it is to have a baby.
