One of the things women poets have been engaged in - among the other things they've been doing - is revising parts of the poetic self. Re-examining notions of the authority within the poem, and of the poem.
It's the reason I love doing TV - revisiting stories and characters and the length of the story arcs.
I wouldn't mind doing a film revolving around horses, but I wouldn't dilute my equity just sitting on one.
But while I am proud to be an American, I am ashamed of what the Trump administration is doing in our name. It is literally rewriting the meaning of America.
Running is very rhythmic, and I have written a lot of lyrics while out running. It's a very musical exercise, and sometimes I like to sing when I run. Your whole body is doing the same thing.
I do miss the rhythms of comedy. And I've never been able to perform very well without an audience. The sitcoms I've done had them. It was like doing a little play.
I just like doing silly girly things. If I wrap a gift, I like to use specials ribbon and hot glue, silk flowers and things.

I don't let the left hand know what the right hand is doing.
The one indication that I got that I was doing the right job in Bosnia was that at different periods of time all the factions came down very hard on me.
There are still recording artists out there doing things for the right reason, but a lot of people seem to be just driven by fame.
Education is not Democrat versus Republican. It's about doing the right things for the right reason for our kids.
It's really about the work - if you are doing it for the right reasons - really to illuminate the human condition.
I'm really such a bumbler! Writing fiction is like arranging furniture in a dark room. I can't see what I'm doing. I grope for the right words. I bump against the wrong words and stumble and stub my toe and curse and keep trying to guess what belongs in the space.
Part of how you grapple with intense opposition is by creating real, organic momentum: by actually doing something for people, and then they rightfully buy into it.
I think when you compete every week, when you play under pressure daily, you find your rituals to be 100 percent focused on what you're doing.
Imagine a doctor in Chicago doing an operation for someone in Taiwan using robotic surgery. You want the doctor to feel immediate feedback to what the robot is experiencing.
