George R.R. Martin on writing women
George Stroumboulopoulos: There's one thing that's interesting about your books. I noticed that you write women really well and really different. Where does that come from?
George R.R. Martin: You know, I've always considered women to be people.

Jennifer Lawrence and first impressions:
Woody Harrelson: I was on my bus, and on my bus I have a yoga swing. Jennifer comes on, and she goes, 'Hi, Woody, I'm J—is that a sex swing?' Her first sentence to me.
Josh Hutcherson: When I got cast, she called me up for one of those five-minute 'Excited to work with you, blah, blah, blah' things. The conversation started with her saying, 'Think about a catheter going in – ouch!' and then turns into a 45-minute rant about zombies and the apocalypse.
Zoë Kravitz: I'd met her a few times, and she was like, 'You should come over and we'll hang out.' So I go over to her apartment, and she opens the door in a towel. She's like, 'Come in, sorry, you're early, I was about to shower.' And she drops her towel and gets in the shower, and starts shaving her legs, totally naked. She was like, 'Are we here yet? Is this OK?' And I was like, 'I guess we're there!'

In Defence of the "C" Word →

Cunt, meanwhile, is a word for the...

My problem with Moffat's Doctor Who
artemiskore:
doortotomorrow:
It’s not Matt Smith’s fault.
It’s not Karen Gillan’s fault.
It’s not Arthur Darvill’s fault.
It’s not Alex Kingston’s fault.
And pretty soon, it’s not going to be Jenna-Louise Coleman’s fault.
No, it’s not the actors who I am finding fault with, they’re doing their best with what they have got to work with.
