You don't really have to dress a ton of actors. You don't really have to spend a bunch of money lining up extras to look the time period.
Even though we look at the past through the lens of distance and think that because people are wearing different clothes or have different technology, their experiences are different, it's all the same, right? Our experience of love and sex and death are the same in any time period.
The time period I had in my life to look like an idiot and fail, and for no one to see that, came and went when I was 17. When you have early success, people are just lying in wait.
I spend a lot of time reading.
I feel like if I'm going to take time reading, I better be learning.
You spend all this time reading or thinking or praying or searching or exploring.Maybe there's an Omega Point of love.
Every single pleasure I can imagine or have experienced is more delightful, more of a pleasure, if you take it in small sips, if you take your time. Reading is not an exception.
You are wise, witty and wonderful, but you spend too much time reading this sort of stuff.
I read most often in bed as part of my attempted sleep ritual. But I spend a lot of time reading on planes and in hotels, too.
Going out at night and having a fabulous social life takes a lot out of you, and I don't know if I have that much to give, honestly. I would rather give that time to my kids or spend that time reading a book or watching a film. I am selfish and lazy.
Honestly, I don't really read about myself. I look at the pictures sometimes. Sometimes I'm looking at them, and I'm thinking, 'They could choose some better ones.' But I don't spend time reading about myself because I know what I'm up to. I prefer to read about other people.
Fortunately, I don't spend too much time reading or worrying about what people have to say, but the goal for me throughout this whole process - throughout my whole life - is to try to be happy.
I'm obsessed with TV. How wrong our parents were when they said we should only watch an hour a day. Stop wasting your time reading books.
When I was nine I spent a lot of my time reading books about the history of comedy, or listening to the Goons or Hancock, humour from previous generations.
While in the middle of writing a book, I have a hard time reading other books for pleasure.
I spend a lot of time reading and try to make sure that I can get a little bit of alone time every day.
Whenever I can, I like to go to Cotswolds, in England, where my husband had a cottage. I spend my time reading his diaries, which I would like to publish.
At the same time, reading an action script... It makes me wonder. Was The Matrix a good script? I don't know.
I do try not to spend much time reading in the suspense genre.
If you spend all your time reading books that you only pretend to understand, year after year, there isn't much room for anything else.
