Life is insanely robust, though we can make species go extinct, and this is the bad thing. So I always make the point that you can't say, 'Is it too late?'

Kim Stanley Robinson

Life, Bad, Question

Anne Perry

Work, Sad, Enjoy

If the script's good, everything you need is in there. I just try and feel it, and do it honestly.

But it seems to have worked for me, so far.
Olivia Colman

Good, Real, Everything

Evan Glodell

End, Writing, Through
