I love writing in first person more than third. i have to basically suspend my own world. i don't exist. i'm just a conduit. so i can be eight years old. i can be the mother of a kid that you find out certain things i'm not going to say.

More From Terry McMillan

I have a hard time writing. most writers have a hard time writing. i have a harder time than most because i'm lazier than most. [...] the other problem i have is fear of writing. the act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why i think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.
Writing Hard Times Thinking
I've written short stories in first person, but you have so much more control writing in third person. third person, you know what everybody's thinking. first person is very limiting, and i could never sustain a first person novel before.
Writing Thinking Stories
I've wanted to be an actor since i was eight years old and i did tv commercials when i was a kid. when i was eleven saturday night live came on and i thought, "oh god, i'd love to do that." i saw the pink panther movies and thought, "god, i'd love to have a comedy series; i'd love to have a character i'd created that becomes a series." i've now pretty-much done everything i've wanted to do since i was eight years old and it's a wonderful feeling, i've got to say.
Character Kids Night
Gay people exist. there's nothing we can do in public policy that makes more of us exist, or less of us exist. and you guys have been arguing for a generation that public policy ought to essentially demean gay people as a way of expressing disapproval of the fact that we exist, but you don't make any less of us exist. you just are arguing in favor of more discrimination, and more discrimination doesn't make straight people's lives any better.
Gay People Guy
I basically enjoy doing films that are about something, that have complex roles that i can sink my teeth into. basically, i gravitate to things that scare me. they might be things that i don't think i know how to play. i like trying to find within me where this character may exist. whether is it is a fictional character or not i am not motivated by that. it is more about how challenging it is. it is just so happens that the more high profile things i have done have been historical characters.
Character Thinking Play
There may come a time when it will be possible for you to humiliate your worst enemy or even to defeat him, but in order to love the enemy you must not do it... the greek language has another word [for love]. it calls it agape. agape is more than romantic love. agape is more than friendship. agape is understanding, redemptive goodwill for all men. agape is an overflowing love, a spontaneous love, which seeks nothing in return. and theologians would say that it is the love of god operating in the human heart. when you rise to love on this level you love all men, not because you like them, not because their ways appeal to you, not because they are worthful to you, but you love all men because god loves them. and you rise to the noble heights of loving the person who does the evil deed while hating the deed that the person does. and i think this is what jesus means when he says, “love your enemies.”
