"I have friends who are more talented than I who haven’t gotten the opportunities that I’ve had. There’s luck involved. There’s being in the right place at the right time, looking the right way — having an enormous stroke of good luck, like having Aaron Sorkin be your friend who wants to cast you in things. It’s not a meritocracy. You can be so good and have so little success."
— Truly great interview with Scandal’s Josh Malina. The world of actors who work hard but aren’t particularly famous is so fascinating.

Kate Mulgrew (aka my fave Star Trek captain Kathryn Janeway) on Jon Stewart’s show in 1995
Stray thoughts
- Jon doesn’t even know what to do with her
- her riff about the struggles of acting is amazing
- why isn’t she the guest on every talk show every night
- such a babe
(thx Capps)

And I don’t seem to care what people think. I write—from the time I started writing I’ve been writing the same way. And people have been saying the same shit about it: “She’s angry. The sentences are too long.”
My first short story is one sentence, 300 words long. My writing has always been criticized for this, this, this. I think that people just think, “Why the hell won’t she stop it? We’ve told her we don’t like it. She keeps doing it.”
That’s the way I write. It’s never going to stop. And the more it makes people annoyed the more I will do it. And it’s actually really good writing. I’m a good writer. They should just say that: “She’s a great writer.” I am.
I’m sorry.
"Answering questions from Janelle Monae’s new song “Q.U.E.E.N.”
And we just came to act a fool, is that all right?
sure.
Is it peculiar that she twerk in the mirror?
no.
Am I a freak for getting down?
nope.
And is it true we insane?
probably not.
And tell me what’s the price of fame?
well, it depends on how you deal with celebrity.
Am I a sinner with my skirt on the ground?
maybe?
Am I a freak for dancing around?
in today’s society, people who don’t dance are considered freaks.
Am I a freak for getting down?
no, unless you consider Kool & The Gang “freaks”
Hey brother, can you save my soul from the devil?
the metaphysical is not my strong point.
Say is it weird to like the way she wear her tights?
depends on if she’s wearing them in a weird way. but if you’re referring to the fact that you’re attracted to a woman in tights, then nope, not weird. sexuality is fluid.
And is it rude to wear my shades?
sometimes.
Am I a freak because I love watching Mary?
seems doubtful.
Hey sister am I good enough for your heaven?
seems like that’s not up to me.
Say will your God accept me in my black and white?
why not?
Will he approve the way I’m made?
likely!
Or should I reprogram the reprogramming, get down?
getting down is always a good idea.
Are we a lost generation of our people?
this seems like a slightly oversimplified question.
