Certain stories we carry with us, events in our life, they define who we are. It's not a matter of getting over anything; we have to make the best of it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't think people are ever going to a place where they're like, 'I'm over stories about character and love.'
Some things you just don't get over.
Sometimes it takes certain people longer to get over things than others.
Any time you end a relationship, and everyone has ended plenty in their life, it's always a tough thing and hard to get over.
Getting over someone is a grieving process. You mourn the loss of the relationship, and that's only expedited by 'Out of sight, out of mind.' But when you walk outside and see them on a billboard or on TV or on the cover of a magazine, it reopens the wound. It's a high-class problem, but it's real.
Each story presents a mystery that has to be solved in the process of writing. When I'm at work on a story, I'm completely immersed in that world and in the lives of those characters; they're utterly real to me. Then, when I've completed the story, it all just falls away. The whole compulsion to understand is over.
I never like to think of any character as being over. I'm always thinking of different ways of bringing them back.
One of the things that happens to everyone who is grief-stricken, who has lost someone, is there comes a time when everyone else just wants you to get over it, but of course you don't get over it. You get stronger; you try and live on; you endure; you change; but you don't get over it. You carry it with you.
Every story about me is so heavy and dramatic. That's not how I do life. But that's the impression people have, and that's what keeps getting reiterated. As if I'm still stuck in all the muck of the past. And I am so not.
It's a dream come true to have someone else portray me. Because I've been living this life for a long time, and I'm over myself.
