My guess is that she is uncomfortable in such an intransigent world but is unable to live accordingly to her own desire.

Harvey [Weinstein] didn't want to release [MY SON THE FANATIC]; he held it for two years because he wanted a happy ending, although I don't know what that means. Does that mean the taxi driver leaves his wife or doesn't leave his wife? I think it has a happy ending.

If you get depressed, you can be stuck for months; if you have an analyst, you at least have a chance of getting out of it faster.

All the same, my depression and self-hatred, my desire to mutilate myself with broken bottles, my numbness and crying fits, my inability to get out of bed for days and days, the feeling of the world moving in to crush me, went on and on. But I knew I wouldn't go mad, even if that release, that letting-go, was a freedom I desired. I was waiting for myself to heal.

I don't want to be loved. I want to be desired. Love is safety, but desire is foul.
