Petruchio: come, come, you wasp; i' faith, you are too angry. katherine: if i be waspish, best beware my sting. petruchio: my remedy is then, to pluck it out. katherine: ay, if the fool could find where it lies. petruchio: who knows not where a wasp does wear his sting? in his tail. katherine: in his tongue. petruchio: whose tongue? katherine: yours, if you talk of tails: and so farewell. petruchio: what, with my tongue in your tail? nay, come again, good kate; i am a gentleman.
Lying Farewell Gentleman
Women, as well as men, in all ages and in all places, have danced on the earth, danced the life dance, danced joy, danced grief, danced despair, and danced hope. literally and metaphorically, by their very lives.
Grief Men Joy
When you are portraying a person that is very real, in my case, katherine johnson is still alive, she is 98-years old; there is a responsibility to get it right. i guess the biggest thing that i took away from katherine was her humility. when you talk about superheroes there are selfless, they don't think about themselves, they put humanity first.
Real Humility Responsibility
I talked to katherine johnson, and i tried to make it weighty by asking things like, "how as a black woman did you do your work in nasa? they were misogynistic, and i'm sure you got called the n-word." she was just like, "well, that was the way it was. i just did my job. i wanted to do my job." she was just so humble.
Humble Black Black Women
Katherine johnson never complained, it just was what it was. she just said, "i just wanted to go to work and do my numbers." and she stopped right there. i think about that as a black woman in hollywood when i'm asked about diversity. i hate when people say diversity because the first thing you jump to is black and white. when you talk about diversity, you're talking about women being hired in front of and behind the camera. you are talking about people with disabilities, the lgbtq community...so i hate when people think about diversity.
Hate Black And White Thinking
It was not enough to be the last guy she kissed. i wanted to be the last one she loved. and i knew i wasn’t. i knew it, and i hated her for it. i hated her for not caring about me. i hated her for leaving that night, and i hated myself , too, not only because i let her go but because if i had been enough for her, she wouldn’t have even wanted to leave. she would have just lain with me and talked and cried, and i would have listened and kissed at her tears as they pooled in her eyes.

It was a foggy day in london, and the fog was heavy and dark. animate london, with smarting eyes and irritated lungs, was blinking, wheezing, and choking; inanimate london was a sooty spectre, divided in purpose between being visible and invisible, and so being wholly neither.
