You can’t just wait for everybody to give you approval – you will just be waiting. Miriam Shor Read Quote
I live near Thompson Square Park, and there are a lot of colorful people I see in the park – a lot of different personalities and homeless people – you get to know them. And every now and then, there is suddenly someone who is no longer around, and you’re just like, ‘Wow,’ but you never really know what happened to them. Miriam Shor Read Quote
It is hard to be unhappy in a gay bar where everyone’s singing show tunes! In fact, I’ve spent many a night in those kind of places – in that particular place, actually – Marie’s Crisis: it’s truly a New York establishment. Miriam Shor Read Quote
As the director, it’s just a constant stream of meetings where you meet with all of the creatives who make all of the decisions for every part of the episodes. You’re also scouting for locations, deciding on the locations, meeting with your first associate director; mine was Jennifer Truelove. She’s one of my favorite people on the planet.

I would love to be remembered for ridding the world of disease, but my knowledge of science comes from episodes of ‘Nova’ and shows on the Discovery Channel. I don’t think a superficial understanding of shark behavior and black holes can help cure diseases. Miriam Shor Read Quote
It really pisses me off when people look at women who are older and are not in a relationship as somehow sad or missing something, because they certainly don’t look at men that way. Miriam Shor Read Quote
I do work really hard to be nice to people. Well, actually, I think it doesn’t take much effort to be nice to people, so why shouldn’t we all be nice to each other? But I do appreciate very much a woman who is in a position of power who is unapologetic about her position and her belief in her own abilities. Miriam Shor Read Quote
I think that, as women, we’re often asked to apologize for our own power, or we’re asked to undercut ourselves, and it’s deemed unattractive to have faith in our abilities. Miriam Shor Read Quote
