Marti Noxon

Can't write worrying what the Internet's going to think.

I spent some time in Vegas when I was doing some canvassing for Obama back in 2008.

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.

I really understand that we have to be sensitive to people's feelings and to their sensitivities, but you also can't be muzzled to tell a story.

Just' writing is every bit as important as any other creative part of a film.

That's a big part of the process: making the right choice from the beginning. Not getting distracted by shiny things.

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.

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.

There're been sort of a sea change in my work in general, in that the more personal, the universal it's become.
