"I have an idea and a first line -- and that suggests the rest of it. I have little concept of what Iâ€™m going to say, or where itâ€™s going. I have some idea of how long itâ€™s going to be -- but not what will happen or what the themes will be. Thatâ€™s the intrigue of doing it -- itâ€™s a process of discovery. You get to discover what youâ€™re going to say and what itâ€™s going to mean."

-- T.C. Boyle

“I feel like we're looked at as either completely nonsexual characters or overly sexual characters, and I feel like that affects how we're treated in the public space by men.
