I am trying to do two things: dare to be a radical and not a fool, which is a matter of no small difficulty.
If I'm feeling desperate, I'll go out image-hunting. I'll go to news agents and stand at the rack flicking through magazines or go to second-hand bookshops. And then, bit by bit, like concrete poetry, I start to realise that I am drawn to particular things, and then I start wondering why that is.
Of course I consider myself a Jewish writer - I am one! All of the protagonists in my five books have been Jewish, and I wouldn't be surprised if all my future main characters were as well.
I am a bit of a Pollyanna - I spend most of my day happy.
Today I bought two lottery tickets, because I had a feeling that it would be now or never - they were both blanks. So I am not going to be rich after all. Nothing at all to be done about it.
I am astonished and surprised that someone could consider making a film about me without talking to me about it.
I am enjoying my face changing, as well as realizing that at the same time, as you get older, the machine isn't as well-oiled as it was.
I am often lost in my own world, with a frown on my face.
I am a politically motivated person, and that will come through in the music.
I had a certificate that said, 'Doctor of Mixology, Harvard University,' that I actually got from Harvard University. A friend of mine was a research assistant over there and it was one of those student or university perks and she brought me in on that. So I am a doctorate from Harvard and it only took me one afternoon.
I am a firm believer in slavery.
I am a joyful conservative, unafraid to articulate big ideas with an optimistic smile.
I am imprinted with the whole sense of European history, especially German history, going back to World War I, which really destroyed all the old values and culture. My grandparents had been reasonably well-off but they became quite poor, living in an attic apartment.
As a person, I love dressing up. I wear make-up when I am meeting a friend or going for a meeting or even when I am out for a coffee for that matter.
What I am interested in now is the landscape. Pictures without people. I wouldn't be surprised if eventually there are no people in my pictures. It is so emotional.
I am afraid of death, scared by it. I already don't know whether I exist or not. So dying really terrifies me.
I'm always attracted to the vulnerable character more than I am the superhero.
I am excited to have a black president because white supremacy is real and it needs to be shattered.
They're always saying I'm a capitalistic pig. I suppose I am. But... it's good for my drumming.
Gay guys love women who are tough, who are survivors. They always call me a diva. And I am a survivor; I've pulled through everything and I've not become bitter about it.
I am a friend of the working man, and I would rather be his friend, than be one.
You go where you think it's good for your work and your soul to go. I need to go someplace where I am reminded about why I wanted to act in the first place, and for me, that's the theater.
I surfed until I was 18, and being the athlete that I am, I got really frustrated with how I wasn't really getting any better.
I am constitutionally competent to contest the elections.
I am confident that when the facts and policies have been examined, when the record of performances have been reviewed, Barack Obama and Joe Biden will once again be elected to lead our beloved country to a better future.
I definitely have to admit that I am fairly ignorant, not just to 'Tron,' but almost any pop culture thing that I should know, at my age. I grew up without a television and rarely got to see a movie, so I didn't really see any of that stuff, and I haven't been able to catch up since.
I am associated with techno epics.
To be honest, I'm in love with denim. It hasn't been my go-to Lion Babe look, but it's very much my 'everyday Jillian look.' I am in denim every single day.
I am a God.
I am quite a private person.
I take laser tag incredibly seriously. I am an extremely competitive person - most likely a little over the top at times, but that's just who I am.
Now, I am thrilled to be a wife and mother, and I hope to be as good of a mother as my own mother, Carole.
I am a Tony voter; it is an honor that I take seriously. Each season, I enter the process with a degree of enthusiasm and optimism, which dissipates as I slowly plow through show after show.
A lot of things I am, and a lot of things I am not. But I think I'm about as good an American as there is. I love this country. It's been very, very good to me. And it will be good to anybody if they are willing to give of themselves.
I love fools' experiments. I am always making them.
I am probably exaggerating a little, but I owe my equilibrium to ink and paper.
