Money and writing appear to be mutually exclusive.

My lesbianism is an act of Christian charity. All those women out there praying for a man, and I'm giving them my share.

Image
Femininity and masculinity are social constructs. Female and male are biological. We don't have to learn to be men or women but we do have to learn to be ladies and gentlemen.

Computer dating? It's terrific if you're a computer!
Rita Mae Brown
Image
I don't think there is a 'gay lifestyle.' I think that's superficial crap, all that talk about gay culture. A couple of restaurants on Castro Street and a couple of magazines do not constitute culture. Michelangelo is culture. Virginia Woolf is culture. So let's don't confuse our terms. Wearing earrings is not culture.

I think the reason I choose the comic approach so often is because it's harder, therefore affording me the opportunity to show off. Also, a comic vision is my natural world view, but I've grown up in spite of myself and I can pass the comic twist if it detracts from what the characters need. Yes, the life of a saint is hard.

Knowing Latin and having two years of Attic Greek gave me the strong foundation upon which I've built a career. I think the classical training, more than anything, has provided me with longevity.

If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done.

Mother believed in enjoying herself. Aunt Mimi believed in enjoying herself, then feeling guilty about it.
