"I like the books of Armistead Maupinno matter what you think of his writing he has the ability to create characters that you really care about, so that when each book ended you were kind of sad and you miss them and wonder what's going to happen to them next." 'trick' director Jim Fall to Boston's Bay Windows, Aug. 5. "Doing a love scene, whether it's with a man or a woman, in front of a room full of people, for three or four days is probably the most unnatural thing you could do. Forget about the gender of the person you're with. But I definitely was the one who said, you know, I shouldn't be drunk. What's the point? I mean, if you're gonna choose to go to bed with a woman, and it's Catherine Deneuve, you don't need to be drunk." Actress Susan Sarandon on her 11/rn The Hunger, to Los Angeles' Lesbian News, August issue. "If wearing an ACT UP button on a talk show, way back in the beginning of the AIDS crisis, as someone was sitting there ill at home, made them feel less lonely... I'm so happy about that." Actress Susan Sarandon on her early AIDS activism, to Los Angeles' Lesbian News, August issue. UI really feel like Julie and I have become, in the public's eye, this sort of nice, contented, perfect little couple of 11 years and I have to tell you, it's far from that. We have to work on ourselves and allow room for compromise just as much as any other couple, and when you throw kids in the mixwow, that just spins your head around even further. Relationships are a lot of work and I want to be truthful about that. We come up against things, and each other, just as much as anybody else in a relationship." Rocker Melissa Etheridge to Sydney's Capital, Aug. 20. "I used to believe that celebrity would solve all my problems and it definitely has not. It's funny how the shit travels, regardless." Rocker Melissa Etheridge to Sydney's Capital, Aug. 20. "I lived... under a communist system in Czechoslovakia. And I left that country so I would be free. I thought this was the land of the free. I didn't think it meant land of the free as long as you're heterosexual. Now the Czech Republicthey're having domestic partnerships. They're having relationships that are recognized homosexual relationships that are recognized as much as heterosexual ones. And I feel like, what do I need to do now? Go back? I don't want to. I am surprised at the [anti-gay] rhetoric and the misinformation that still exists to this day among very well-educated people." |
