“Everything informs everything, so as a writer, you should always know what’s happening globally because whether it happens subconsciously or consciously, you’re going to be integrating what’s happening culturally into your work.”
— Wallis quoting from Shonda Rhimes’s masterclass
“Sometimes, when you get so big, you also become unrelatable.”
— Michelle Pellizzon Lipsitz
“It’s an art to know when to give what attention to which one at which time, and that takes a lot of practice.”
— Wallis Millar-Blanchaer
“If you are a creator, your work needs to be shared and experienced by the world to have an impact. So hiding it away in your cabin or closet, that’s the opposite of the point.”
— Michelle Pellizzon Lipsitz
“One of the most valuable things about archetypes is that they make you feel less alone.”
— Michelle Pellizzon Lipsitz
“I feel a sense of freedom when I know that my archetype can evolve.”
— Michelle Pellizzon Lipsitz
“The beautiful thing about archetypes is that they show us the solutions and the pathways from where we are to where we want to go, or what could potentially come next.”
— Michelle Pellizzon Lipsitz
“Your empire is like a crystal. There are different facets that represent different perspectives on the same idea that you’re exploring.”
