Kindle Notes & Highlights
If you ever feel stuck, just go into a completely different atmosphere with different kinds of people and see how stimulating it is. There’s nothing better.
Know the basic beats but then let yourself be free within those parameters,
Struggle itself is meaningful. You never know where anything is going to go.
“Sometimes when I get nervous, I stick my fingers under my arms and smell them, like that—but that’s bad!” Which was based on something that really happened. Ann Ranft and I were in West Palm Beach, on vacation, by the pool at a Holiday Inn. I noticed that my armpits smelled and we had this real teen puberty moment together where we said to each other, “Can I smell yours? I want to. And you can smell mine.”
It’s good to be responsible, but there’s no point in being so stressed that you can’t adjust or bend the rules a little when necessary.
