The events of my life are too unimportant, and have too little interest for any person not of my immediate family, to render them worth communicating or preserving.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have written too much about lives - I feel I have lived for too long.
My grandmother, who passed away at the beginning of November, had a core adage in her life that 'life is not about what happens to you but about what you do with what happens to you.' She recently had been cajoling me and challenging me to do more with my life. To lead more of a purposefully public life.
All my life, I will continue obstinately to write about love, solitude and passion among the kind of people I know. The rest don't interest me.
My personal life, my normal life, is so important to me. To be able to go back to my personal life and leave characters behind is important; I don't keep them with me.
It's unresolved conflict in my life that I have a lovely family and a risky job.
That's what I do this for, to secure my family's future. I don't care about anything else. I'm able to spoil people, and that's the best thing.
I've always tried to not let movie, television or theatre be all that my life is about. I've always tried to get involved in the community or my family now I have kids.
What interests me most are the emotional lives of the people. If I don't have that, it's not worth doing, frankly.
I want to make sure that no matter how long I go through this, I don't fall into the trap of changing and modifying how I do things that aren't a positive example. I want to remain somebody that the entire family can listen to or watch.
Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.
