I've been acting for so long it's more like - I won't say easy, exactly, but there's not the same angst with writing that comes about with acting. Writing - particularly when you're writing yourself, when it's you, when it's your life, you really can't hide.
I think we do live in a very specialized society, where once you think about somebody as one thing, it's hard to change that. But I do a lot of things. I act, I write, I sing.
I feel like women very often do write differently than men, but women write things that men can't write.
I don't have control over how people choose to perceive me. The only thing I have control over is my writing.
I think people assume that women write about the domestic sphere. Women write about relationships and family. Men do, too, but then it's the Great American Novel.
Not all women write the same. But I don't understand why the model is that you're supposed to write like a man, and that means you're a real writer.
I write in bed, too. I find it very comforting. I want to sort of, like, crawl in a fetal position if I have to.
I think when people hear about a celebrity writing a book of any kind, the assumption is that it was dictated to a ghostwriter.
