I will write a book one day about how I feel about every aspect of Emily Stone. She's a full genius. She has found her genius and is giving it all so fully and beautifully. I think everyone who works with her, brushes shoulders with her, or even makes eye contact with her, gets a shot of sunshine.
She could become a spinster, like Emily Dickinson, writing poems full of dashes and brilliance, and never gaining weight.
If you want to disappear, Emily, you can do it most anywhere.

Cynie Cory roams the outer reaches of the heart’s territory, from the snowy winter of family life to the tropical jungles of love. She wears her heart on her sleeve and it is as big as the country she writes about. Is she the quintessential American girl? You bet she is, part Annie Oakley, part Emily Dickinson—sharpshooting poet of wild nights. She zooms in on the detritus of love—the broken fragments, the fallen leaves—and puts together a collage that is as heartbreaking as it is beautiful. Watch out—she’s driving down your street.

' 'Hey bro, you need to go outside and get some fresh air into you. Or a girlfriend. ' I need to get a girlfriend into me? I think that shows a fundamental lack of comprehension about how babies are made.

Emily was feeling the elation of conscientious hosts when they can temporarily escape a ubiquitous houseguest.
The really great writers are people like Emily Bronte who sit in a room and write out of their limited experience and unlimited imagination.
Toby twisted around. "Boo. " Emily screamed.
No matter what happens to you in life, you just roll with it. And then, when we went back to shoot Eclipse, I went to Quileute and taught some acting to the kids, and just got to spend some time in the community, which was great because it gave me an idea of where Emily came from.
Lars von Trier is very, very, very clever about women. He gives the woman a space that I don't know any filmmaker does. Because in Breaking The Waves, protagonist Emily Watson is the Christ. Which man is doing that? I don't know any man giving that space to a woman. No one.
[Emily Litella line:] Never mind.
