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
We humans are here because nothing can be perfect. There always have to be some living things that are unsatisfied, itchy, trying too hard. If it was all just animals and rocks and lettuce, the gods wouldn't feel like they had enough to do.
Miranda July
That day I carried the dream around like a full glass of water, moving gracefully so I would not lose any of it.
Miranda July
I can guarantee you nothing I do is a conscious attempt to inject something in.

I mean obviously we're all dealing with a lot more strangers due to the web. I'd say it has more to do with the quality of interactions. When you're physically interacting with someone, it forces you to be more present and probably a little more uncomfortable. You have to tolerate being outside the comfort of your own home.

I've always been terrified of getting used to something that is actually killing me-a relationship or a job. But in those cases, you can count on a friend to say something. The Internet is different, because all my friends are in the same relationship.

Miranda July
There was nothing in this world that was not a con, suddenly I understood this. Nothing really mattered, and nothing could be lost.
Miranda July
We come from long lines of people destined never to meet.
Miranda July
Maybe that's why people take pictures of themselves, to avoid being described.
Miranda July
She bludgeoned me with a look of such limitless compassion that I immediately began to cry.
Miranda July
Some people need a red carpet rolled out in front of them in order to walk forward into friendship. They can't see the tiny outstretched hands all around them, everywhere, like leaves on trees.
Miranda July
I was going to die and it was taking forever.
Miranda July
I looked out the window for other passengers in love with their drivers, but we were well disguised, we pretended boredom and prayed for traffic.
Miranda July
Since I started making art, I've always had some kind of project that was really about and for other people, because I think I just need that balance to feel sane myself — you know?
Miranda July
The word God asks a question and then answers it before there is any chance to wonder.
Miranda July
If you read my short stories, there's a lot of sex in those in all different ways. To me, it's a really good, useful thing to get to have in a story. And in a movie, it's amazing, because you actually get to show things.
Miranda July
I think because I write so many short stories, it's not that hard to come up with characters that are not me.
