Life is just this way, broken, and I am crazy to hope for something else.
Miranda July
I was going to die and it was taking forever.
Miranda July
But, like ivy, we grow where there is room for us.

I think titles are tricky because they're like a really short ad for the book. And like an ad, they should open the door in a way that might be more accessible than the book itself. So I always like titles to be familiar. I'm not trying to break ground with the title itself. The title should feel like something already celebrated.

Inelegantly, and without my consent, time passed.

He was worried she would not let him love her with the stain. He had already decided long ago, twenty or thirty minutes ago, that the stain was fine. He had only seen it for a moment, but he was already used to it. It was good. It somehow allowed them to have more.

I can guarantee you nothing I do is a conscious attempt to inject something in.

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.

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.

The life you live in front of an audience is like an altered state - it's not totally real. I'm always, even in the course of one day, trying to find ways to balance both sides.
Miranda July
When I write, I wear earplugs. I don't want to be self-conscious. I don't want to be thinking about the fact that I'm thinking about it. I just want to be in it. It's one element of hypnosis.
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.
Miranda July
I spend a lot of time obsessing about getting a dignified eight hours' sleep.
Miranda July
In the weeks that followed, we amazed ourselves. Our habits slid apart easily...And our very few intimacies were simply discontinued. Where did they go, those things we did? Were they recycled? Did some new couple in China do them? Were a Swedish man and woman foot to foot at this very moment?
Miranda July
She never inquired, but she never recoiled, either. This is a quality that I look for in a person, not recoiling.
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
People tend to hold on to their first impressions - that's why those first descriptions can be so important. You don't even necessarily look at people that carefully after a while you just hold on to that early impression.
Miranda July
She bludgeoned me with a look of such limitless compassion that I immediately began to cry.
Miranda July
People tend to stick to their own size group because it's easier on the neck. Unless they are romantically involved, in which case the size difference is sexy. It means: I am willing to go the distance for you.
Miranda July
Would she understand that time had stopped while she was gone.
