How could you think of such awful things? liberal critics always ask. How else could I possibly amuse myself? I always wonder.

Hitchhiking, intrinsically, is sexual and dangerous. At the same time I never really felt scared. I was scared that nobody would pick me up and that I'd be waiting by the side of the road for a week.

I'm an old person because I still buy DVDs. I have every one of my albums and 45s - I even have a couple of 33s and I do have a turntable. But I must admit, I don't listen to vinyl today. But I listen to all types of music.

The only time I had a normal boyfriend was during the time of AIDS, so maybe that saved me. It's certainly not karma.

Image
I always want to see films that are startling and amazing. Not just shocking. Shocking is easy to do. But startling in the way that makes you change how you think about things. Those are the movies I like the best.

God knows if you could start a new sex act that's more important than making a good movie.

Baltimore never changes much. People aren't impressed by anything. It's great it's not a trendy town.

Fifty years seems like a good anniversary. Even after I'm dead, how much better could I get than this? I mean, it's great, I'm not dead, so I get to see it.

I keep on having ideas and developments. Some happen and some don't, but I still always have a way of telling a story.
