You always feel like you are the only one in the world, like everyone else is crazy for each other, but it's not true. Generally, people don't like each other very much. And that goes for friends, too.

More quotes by Miranda July
Thus far, everything I've made has come out of my really feeling it, out of the fire of my life.
Miranda July
The level of control, that's part of what's so appealing about filmmaking - you have so much control over what the reader, the viewer, is noticing from moment to moment. They can't do that boring boring boring thing as easily.
Miranda July
Life is just this way, broken, and I am crazy to hope for something else.
Miranda July
When you can see the beauty of a tree, then you will know what love is.
Miranda July
Maybe that's why people take pictures of themselves, to avoid being described.
Miranda July
I was going to die and it was taking forever.
Miranda July
They wordlessly excused each other for not loving each other as much as they had planned to. There were empty rooms in the house where they had meant to put their love, and they worked together to fill these rooms with midcentury modern furniture. (Birthmark).
Miranda July
I'm totally not kidding. Life is too short. This is all too hard to do to actually be kidding about the whole thing.
Miranda July
… it wasn’t pretend, I wasn’t in a fairytale or a fable. I shut my eyes and absorbed the silent whoomp that always accompanies this revelation. It’s the sound of the real world, gigantic and impossible, replacing the smaller version of reality that I wear like a bonnet, clutched tightly under my chin.
Miranda July
If you were wise enough to know that this life would consist mostly of letting go of things you wanted, then why not get good at the letting go, rather than the trying to have?
Miranda July
When I was very little, I probably wanted to be more normal. I probably wanted the Laura Ashley bedroom, and instead I got thrift-store everything.
Miranda July
I wondered if i would spend the rest of my life inventing complicated ways to depress myself.
Miranda July
I went to the bedroom and lay on the floor, so as not to mess up the covers.
Miranda July
Did you ever really love her? Not really no. But me? Yes. Even though I have no pizzazz?
Miranda July
I can guarantee you nothing I do is a conscious attempt to inject something in.
Miranda July
I guess like any writer or screenwriter I'm alone in my own world so much of the time that I'm often trying to force myself out of my world. Into more risk. A less controlled kind of inspiration. I'm so keenly aware of how easy it's getting to not leave the house, with Amazon, especially.
Miranda July
An erratum is a correction inserted into a book after publication. It's a nice thing to collect because you can't go after them, you just come upon them. In 25 years I've only found about 12.
Miranda July
He breathed out the bitter air that makes women doubt everything, and I breathed it in, as I had always done. I expelled my dust, the powder of everything I had destroyed with doubt, and he pulled it into his lungs.
Miranda July
I steeled myself against laughter I would rather die than laugh. I didn’t laugh, I did not laugh. But I died, I did die.
Miranda July
As a woman filmmaker it's pretty important that you have some basis of confidence that you're coming from, because, as I got closer to LA, there's less and less women. There's less and less mirrors for who you are.
