• We all fantasize about a relationship we’d like to do over or something we’d like to change about our past. I think there are a lot more opportunities for second chances in our lives than we think.
• You know as far as diet goes, for a while I was really obsessed with counting fat grams along with the rest of the world.
• Lately, I just let myself eat it more because I think, ‘Oh, my God, a piece of cheese tastes so good’. I think it’s your body telling you something.

• The best stuff happens when you take a chance. When you risk something and do the thing that the other people are taking a chance on, on a network kind of level, they will be rewarded. You know, risk-reward.
• There’s no difference between my persona on Twitter and Instagram and in real life.
• Some people say the things I do are annoying because I’m intentionally trying too hard to be relatable, but I’m really not. It’s never really been my intention; I’ve never gone out of my way to be relatable to anyone. I just say what I want, and I’m pretty blunt about things

• … I’m on a TV show, which I’m so lucky to be on. It pays my rent, so I don’t need to make a ton of money on music, and music has always been my first love. I’m not in this business for fame or money. That’s something I learned from being a kid at the Met. The kids weren’t unionized. We made 25 bucks a night and there were horses onstage – no joke – that were making $800. So when you’re valued, at least monetarily, less than a farm animal, you realize you’re there because you really love it.
• [on if it it’s a part of her career strategy to not be typecast as “a young hottie starlet”] …actually don’t think I have a strategy. I think in terms of instinct, if in my gut it feels like the right character, if I feel it’s a story that needs to be told. Of course in retrospect it was an excellent idea to go do something that was not glamorous, because I think people did see me as princess-y after The Phantom of the Opera (2004) and Poseidon (2006) and big-budget movies. Looking back on it, if it was a strategy it would have been a really good one. It happened that I ended up emotionally attaching to a character that I was the right age for when they were casting it. This show [Shameless (2011)] had also been around for a couple of years. There was another incarnation of it at HBO with Woody Harrelson in the William H. Macy role, so I wouldn’t have been the right age for it at that time. So much of Hollywood is luck.

• on nude scenes double standards] There are hour-long compilations of world-famous male actors with nude scenes who win Oscars and get praised for that work, but the moment a woman does it, it degrades them. They’re not actresses. They just take off their tops so they can get a role.
• I had boobs before other girls and I felt ostracized for it
• [on nepo babies] I had no idea getting into this industry how many people have connections. I started from ground zero, and I know how f***ing hard it is. “Now I see how someone can just walk in a door, and I’m like, ‘I worked my f***ing ass off for ten years for this’.

• Once you’re a mom, always a mom. It’s like riding a bike, you never forget.
• Every human walks around with a certain kind of sadness. They may not wear it on their sleeves, but it’s there if you look deep.
• Humans have a light side and a dark side, and it’s up to us to choose which way we’re going to live our lives. Even if you start out on the dark side, it doesn’t mean you have to continue your journey that way. You always have time to turn it around.

“Some of the things that Ainsley has to say are shocking and there were moments where I thought, ‘I don’t know how I’m going to pull this off,'” Randolph admitted to The Hollywood Reporter one month later. “I want to find the most human version of this character that I can, and I work really hard at doing that.”

MISMATCH, 2min., USA
Directed by Luna Lee
A seemingly ordinary matchstick, repeatedly dismissed and denied recognition as a military veteran, slowly ignites with emotion—until it finally flames up, revealing the true weight of the micro aggressions it endured.

I have to really thank the actors for my reading, nothing short of terrific as they were, nothing short of incredibly smart, attractive, and perceptive as they were. They brought the script to life.  – F. Maffai

Perfection can only be two-dimensional. You can make a picture perfect, and maybe that’s why I like film, it’s imperfect because it’s in motion. I keep trying to think of our home and our life like that, it doesn’t have to look a certain way, just feel a certain way.
