More From Alia Shawkat

I am personally against abortion on demand, but i believe it is very clear that there must be legislation brought in that will deal with what is becoming simply a mish-mash of approaches
Believe Abortion Demand
A great state is a well-blended mash of something of all the people and all of none of the people. the liquor of statecraft is distilled from the mash you got.
People Justice Diversity
Now the thanksgiving meal is just so unnecessarily difficult. i mean even mashed potatoes - it's like the most difficult kind of, you know, medieval idea. all right, instead of just cooking them, why don't you spend, like, eight hours peeling them and then we'll have to mash them up. it feels like prison labor, really.
Mean Eight Ideas
The thing of being able to share somebody's reality, which has so far been a matter of what communication is about, you know. now it has gotten a whole new leg. it has gotten a thing of being able to actually step in somebody's reality and walk through it like they do, experience it the way they do, specifically. the implications, to me, are immense. i mean, how far can it go? if you go into a complete, like a cyberspace model of some type, in which... you know the discussion about the mind and the interaction between the mind and the universe as a holographic phenomenon.
Communication Mean Reality
Women face a lot of challenges every day - we have to stand firm in our walk and our intentions - but there are times when that weight feels too heavy, feels like a load that i just can't bear that day. i try to work through that in my art, whatever medium that might be. my live performance is based around the color red, and all the things that communicates as a woman to the world - fiery, really vocal, present, almost a kind of stubborn color - and redefining it as being very complex. being able to express that complexity, i'm getting a lot better at that the older i've gotten.
Art Challenges Trying
I stalk certain words... i catch them in mid-flight, as they buzz past, i trap them, clean them, peel them, i set myself in front of the dish, they have a crystalline texture to me, vibrant, ivory, vegetable, oily, like fruit, like algae, like agates, like olives... i stir them, i shake them, i drink them, i gulp them down, i mash them, i garnish them... i leave them in my poem like stalactites, like slivers of polished wood, like coals, like pickings from a shipwreck, gifts from the waves... everything exists in the word.

Similar Quotes
Mid-summer ... when the alchemy of nature transmutes the sylvan landscape to one vivid and almost homogeneous mass of green; when the senses are well-nigh intoxicated with the surging seas of moist verdure and the subtly indefinable odours of the soil and the vegetation. in such surroundings the mind loses its perspective; time and space become trivial and unreal, and echoes of a forgotten prehistoric past beat insistently upon the enthralled consciousness.
Summer Nature Past
I believe i am quite amiable and affable and quite fair, and i've rarely worked with people who are the opposite. moodiness scares me. what gets to me is unkindness. madness. unwarranted cruelty through words. people who scream and shout at work. i hate confrontation and violence. i've done it in the past and i don't want to do it again. i guess i want a perfect world.
Hate Believe Past
Steps toward a rapprochement between israel and the arab states create a process that turns economics into the moving force that shapes the regional relations instead of nationalist interests that were dominant in the past.
Moving Past Israel
And there lies the horror: the past we remember is devoid of time. impossible to reexperience a love the way we reread a book or resee a film.
