I didn’t hear words that were accurate, much less prideful. For example, I never once heard the word clitoris.

I find the female tragedy of insecurity to be hilarious. We get obsessed over issues like the tiny skin tags on our backs or that we're fat. You read one line in a magazine and it sends you into a tailspin. ↗

In France, a woman may forget that she is neither young nor handsome; for the absence of these claims to attention does not expose her to be neglected by the male sex. ↗

There's really no difference between what I do and what a male filmmaker might do. I mean we all try to make our days, we all try to give the best performances we can, we try to make our budget, we try to make the best movie we possibly can. ↗

The cool kindliness of sheets, that soon smooth away trouble; and the rough male kiss of blankets. ↗
