A writer is always, always searching, even against her will, against all her better instincts, for the thread of a story. Everything is fodder. Everything is fuel.

And I'm realizing that I'm actually a part of that, so I'm learning to take it in, 'cause so often I shrug it away. Idina Menzel backbroadwayexcitement share on social
I've been lucky enough - well, maybe unlucky enough - to have had a lot of friends who have had their ups and downs. And for an actor, that's good. Life experience in any regard is good. So I've seen a lot and I've had my own experiences. Chris Evans actordownexperience share on social
Getting on stage and performing and standing under lights is such an unsettling experience - in a good and bad way - but it's the only place I can go to feel comfortable. Matt Berninger badcomfortableexperience Change image and share on social
