Quotes

  • “It was all completely incomprehensible to me. I was fearful of the language. You had to look up every third word.”
  • “Nobody sees the same movie. I'm sure there are people who saw Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and thought "Finally a gay movie about men who really care about each other. Thank God!" That's not what I saw necessarily — but I don't think any two people see the same movie.”
  • “Don't kiss a man who hasn't shaved.”
