More quotes by Miranda July

A more normal, mature way to think about it [my work] would be, Oh, I work on multiple projects at once and they overlap, but the actual psychology of it is a lot more self-abusing.

Miranda July
We don't really believe in mowing the lawn we do it only to avoid unnecessary engagement with the neighbors.
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 can't imagine being invested in someone else's script.
Miranda July
Would she understand that time had stopped while she was gone.
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
It was a tiny sound but it woke me up because it was a human sound.
Miranda July
For a split second I felt as though she was nobody special in the larger scheme of my life. She was just some girl who had tied me to her leg to help her sink when she jumped off the bridge. Then I blinked and was in love with her again.
Miranda July
The word God asks a question and then answers it before there is any chance to wonder.
Miranda July
