It's so transparent, how willing we are to dismiss the intelligence of someone who rejects us, as though that renders them incapable of sound judgmen… - Mary-Louise Parker

Most everything you said in the rehearsal room as a director was applicable to life. You said, 'Let go of what happened last time,' and 'Start with what you know' and 'Don't expect a response.

Letting someone you don’t really like surprise you is evolved,

Faith to you was more clay than mortar, and if you could interpret the gospel, so could I. So should anyone. If God wasn’t mad at you for drinking wine and chain-smoking and being a homosexual, he might forgive me for stealing a kitten and trying to hide it under a blanket in the back of our station wagon. Certainly that God was preferable to others who wouldn’t let you in Heaven if you said bad words or drank Mountain Dew.
