Sometimes movies really are the best medicine.

They were written on cheap blue notebooks bought by poor women. I'm interested in folk tales in the way that medicine and magic in women's stories are all kind of combined.

The adults don't know what's happening on the kids' universe and the kids don't know what's happening on the adults' universe.

I get a kick out of watching a team defense me. A player moves two steps in one direction and I hit it two steps the other way. It goes right by his glove and I laugh.

It is hardly surprising that women concentrate on the way they look instead of what is in their minds since not much has been put in their minds to begin with.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.
