Regardless of the business aspect of things, is there a reason that there isn't a female Hitchcock or a female Scorsese or a female Spielberg? I don't know. I think it's a medium that really is built for the male gaze and for a male sensibility.

But this was what happened when you didn't want to visit and confront the past: the past starts visiting and confronting you.

I want to moan and writhe with you and I want to go up to you and kiss your mouth and pull you to me and say "I love you I love you I love you" while stripping. I want you so bad it stings.

Unless you're the director on the movie, or putting up the money for the movie, you really don't have a lot of control.

History is sinking and only a very few seem dimly aware that things are getting bad.

If I want to write a movie, I'll write a screenplay, but if I have an idea for a book, it's something that I think can only be done novelistically.
