Merrill Markoe Quotations

I really enjoyed Merrill Markoe's Guide To Glamorous Living, which was a weird hybrid reality/sketch thing I wrote, directed, and hosted, with two male-model bimbos whom I made agree with everything I said.

When you have been writing for a lot of years, you have to make an effort not to start repeating yourself. It occurred to me that I tended to tread certain ground automatically, because it was comfortable, but that there were areas I avoided automatically because they made me nervous.

When anyone lacks self-awareness and doesn't recognize their transparencies, it's always funny.

I don't like the celebrity gossip culture, and I certainly don't want to contribute to it. I don't care about the Kardashians, or any of them.

Reality television is a scripted hyper-life that employs writers, but won't allow them to call themselves writers or join the union.

My goal was always getting my work out in the world, and in many ways, I feel like the luckiest person alive.

I care about being creative and productive.

I have learned that the stuff that causes me anxiety, the stuff I instinctively veer away from, is usually a road map to where my own creative growth can be found. So I consciously head toward the places that make me uncomfortable.

Since - in my belief system - we each get only one go-round here on planet Earth, it is the task of the writer to interpret, examine, and reflect on the specifics of their one and only life experience.

It's just like magic. When you live by yourself, all your annoying habits are gone!.
