You can be a sophisticated person and still have really old ideas about what love is supposed to look like.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
Not proud. But I watched 'The Bachelor' only once, and I really felt, after that experience, that I could never do it again. I felt it was so morally compromising, as a woman.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
The best feeling you can ever have when you're working on a show is that the characters are still inside you, and they have a lot left to do.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
The truth is there's a difference between the competition shows where you're testing skills and the type of shows where you're trying to create drama.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
I thought about being an actor, and I thought about directing, but writing truly became something I needed to do just to stay sane.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
I love being in a public space where teenagers are talking. And the funny thing is that it hasn't changed that much. There's certainly slang that I'm not familiar with, but among the average teen, it's still the same.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
I certainly often go to a movie and don't remember exactly what the trailer had in it, except that it looked cool.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
The dream of doing what I do started with watching movies by Mr. Spielberg, like 'Close Encounters,' 'Poltergeist,' and 'E.T.' That was the beginning of my obsession.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
I'm such a type A doer myself that if someone said I had a month off, I think I'd go crazy and try to organize the vacation resort!
Quote by -Marti Noxon
On 'Sex and The City', when Carrie talked about money problems, I would always think, 'Sell your shoes!'
Quote by -Marti Noxon
'Just' writing is every bit as important as any other creative part of a film.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
Too many people will die needlessly if we go back to letting people buy junk insurance or insurance that doesn't help people with diseases related to mental illness.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
I think we're in a time when people are much more interested in a show than where you find it.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
When people are like, ''UnREAL' is so dark,' I'm like, 'Hahahahahahahahahaha! Wait 'til you get to 'Sharp Objects.''
Quote by -Marti Noxon
Eating disorders are A) not fun at parties, and B) they're not very fun in movies.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
I think my biggest problem as a creative person trying to work within a business for profit was that it was very important to me that people liked me. Over the years, observing other showrunners who made work that I so admired, I realized that that had to go. This couldn't be my first priority. My first priority had to be the work.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
I had been anorexic for about five years. And I was really sick. I probably weighed about 70 pounds.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
I know a lot about words. I get paid to write stories, so I get to talk with people about the meaning behind words all day.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
I've grown and changed, and I'm still making television and movies that I feel really proud of.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
There are certain shows or people that I would love to work with. One of the greatest things about our business is that if you get to fan out on people you might actually get to meet.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
There's a brain chemistry - the floatiness and the disassociation and all the things that came with starving - I became addicted to.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
I'm pretty proud of my pie crust. I think I've finally learned how to manhandle it just enough.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
There's no shape or body type that makes you more happy or more lovable. It's the body you're comfortable in that makes you happier and more lovable. I look around and see how women and men of all types find the love and the life they want.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
I digested this value system that told me there was no one for me unless I reached a certain type of perfection. And as you get older, you realize that ideal is constantly changing.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
Sometimes when I'm reading a script, I can't quite believe that this is going on television alongside cereal commercials.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
For me, the interesting thing about anorexia is that you show your wound. There's no hiding it. So my anger and sense of disappointment, all the stuff I was out of touch with, became this visible rebuke to my parents.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
Seeing Donald Trump run for and then win the presidency only enhanced my commitment to helping people free themselves from ridiculous body standards and disordered eating so they can use their gifts for more fulfilling things, like being of service and enjoying this beautiful world.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
I think many people expend a tremendous amount of energy on self-loathing and self-flagellation as well as getting caught in a vicious cycle of dieting and gaining the weight back.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
So many of the indie movies that get made are not about topics that touch millions and millions of people.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
That went on for a long time: telling various tales from my experience being anorexic and bulimic, and having people say, 'You've got to write this; you are a writer,' and me not knowing how to approach the material.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
That's a big part of the process: making the right choice from the beginning. Not getting distracted by shiny things.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
I did, of course, do research about what the current state of affairs is in terms of the eating disorder community and who's being affected, and I was surprised to see that - something that was - way back when I was in the thick of it, it was typified as a fairly white, middle-class girl problem. And if it was, it really isn't anymore.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
On 'Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce,' we have a mandate to hire as many women as possible, but particularly on a show that is about women and about progressive issues like that.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
I spent some time in Vegas when I was doing some canvassing for Obama back in 2008.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
When you're allowed to tell stories with ambiguity and darkness and things that are still unresolved, that's the dream scenario as opposed to having to fit into a more procedural mode or something a little more conventional. That's not what's working on TV right now.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
The reason I fell in love with Buffy was because of the ambiguity, because she was a superhero and a hot mess. I hadn't seen anything like her on TV - ever.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
It's funny: I've joked that 'Sharp Objects,' 'To the Bone,' and 'Dietland' are my self-harm trilogy, and each one is a different side of that triangle, with 'Dietland' really about fighting back.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
One of the good things about consulting is that you leave the writers' room for a couple of days, things progress, you come back, and you might have a fresher take.
Quote by -Marti Noxon
'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger' not only applies to the deeply personal subject matter of 'To the Bone' but to simply getting a film about people with eating disorders made. Without the brilliant Julie Lynn, Bonnie Curtis, and Karina Miller producing, there's no way this project would be coming to fruition.
