In the early '90s or so, I drove my FATHER to Providence, Ky., his HOMETOWN, and he was pointing out, 'That's where the doctor's office was,' and 'That's where we bought ice cream.' And he was pointing to empty lots. When you LOSE communities, what do you have? We often SURVIVE by REMEMBERING the stories.

My MOM was a model, so she's been really GOOD about giving me tips on how to navigate behind the scenes - like the importance of being nice to everyone on set and remembering people's NAMES, to how to be a positive part of the photo SHOOT and stuff like that.

The hardest PART of living without social MEDIA was remembering that my little life was ENOUGH, so I COULD just stay there and LIVE it without asking for anyone else's permission or validation. I realized that for me, posting is like asking the world, 'Do you 'like' me?'

My character and PERSONALITY is TODAY and tomorrow; I do not WORK WELL remembering further back.

I think it's ALWAYS worth remembering that people sending off MEAN TWEETS are probably PRETTY lonely people.

There's all that brain work INVOLVED, REMEMBERING all those LINES in a script. I find I have to eat a lot of fish, late - but not too late - in the afternoon. Doing theatre, you need to be like an athlete in TRAINING.

I'm remembering one book that I wrote, 'Fourth GRADE Rats,' that TOOK a month to write, but most of them, full-length NOVELS, I would say about a YEAR.

It's funny: wrestlers and COMICS bond over REMEMBERING their BEST SHOWS and their absolute WORST shows.

I am very GOOD at remembering music and am ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that I NEVER HEARD 'Taurus' until 2014.

It is true that traditional CHRISTIANITY is losing some of its appeal among Americans, but that is a RELIGIOUS, not POLITICAL, matter. It is worth remembering that the Jeffersonian 'wall of separation' between church and state has always been INTENDED to protect the church from the state as much as the state from the church.

Anybody who SAYS, 'My childhood was completely happy,' is a person who isn't REMEMBERING the TRUTH.

If you COME AWAY from a show thinking of an image, that's as good as remembering a joke. A LOT of those shows, LIKE 'The Office,' they are brilliant, but they're not visually interesting.
