Sometimes it's just enough for me to have the idea. i don't need to see it through to the end. when it actually happens, i'm always disappointed because it's never like what i imagined in my head. when an idea becomes a reality, then it's a job. i'd rather just think about it.

Sometimes It's Just Enough For Me To

Jobs Reality Thinking

More From Amy Sedaris

I'm of the opinion that the real is imagined and the imagined is quite real. the real is imagined, in the sense that we shape our stories, so anything that even happens on the news gets shaped in a certain way and gets a texture, and that the imagined can be real.

I feel like being an actor it is a great way to do your job and be a parent, because you have a lot of freedom. you have a job and then the job ends and than maybe you don't have another job for a while or maybe you chose not have another job for a while. for an actor, it's like maybe you don't see your kid for two weeks while you are filming but then you might have three months off where you are at home every day and picking him up from school. i find it's a great thing.

People get sick and sometimes they get better and sometimes they don't. and it doesn't matter if the sickness is cancer or if it's depression. sometimes the drugs work and sometimes they don't. sometimes the drugs work for a while and then they stop. sometimes the alternative stuff works and sometimes it doesn't. and sometimes you wonder if no outside interference makes any difference at all; if an illness is like a storm, if it simply has to run its course and, at the end of it, depending on how robust you are, you will be alive. or you will be dead.

I find that in the process of making a film you're constantly discovering things that you never even imagined would work at the beginning. actors come into the film and do things you never even imagined. production designers come in, the director of photography lights it in a way that you never imagined. so, it's always evolving, always exciting.

ِan offer you can't refuse.

Bad stuff happens. sometimes it makes no sense at all. sometimes its unfair. sometimes, it just plain sucks. bad stuff happens sometimes. always remember that, but remember that you have to move on somehow. you just pick your head up and stare at something beautiful like the sky, or the ocean, and you move the hell on.

I'd hear some beautiful sade or kings of convenience ballad remixed in a club and i liked that these simple little songs seemed to be masquerading. they had put on superhero costumes, got all beefy, and here they were on the dancefloor. i was interested in that. i can't make electronic beats, so i leave it to the pros like boys noize and chromeo.

I remember when the wave of jennifer lopez, salma hayek and these beautiful hispanic women came into light, and i looked up to them and i loved them, but i was like, 'where are middle eastern women?'

When you feel good, everything around you is good, when everything around you is great, everything makes you happy. you are loving everything that is around you, because you are loving yourself. because you like the way you are. because you are happy with your life. you are happy with the movie that you are producing, happy with your agreements with life. you are at peace, and you are happy. you live in that state of bliss where everything is so wonderful, and everything is so beautiful. in that state of bliss you are making love all the time with everything that you perceive.

I once had a dreams of becoming a beautiful poet, but upon an unfortunate series of events some of those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the night sky that i wished on over and over again, sparkling and broken. but i didn't really mind, because i knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted, and then losing it to know what true freedom is.
