I'm Not An Especially Highbrow

I Actually Have Two Children Now, And Sometimes I Wonder If That's It. Because They Do Make Writing And Directing More Complicated And More Difficult, Especially Now That They're Very Young.

Of Course, The Strippers Also Take Pains Not To Appear Too Innocent, Valorous, Or Bookishly Inclined. (in Direct Opposition To The Swayze Mandate Of 1987, Everybody Puts Baby In A Goddamn Corner.)

For Me, Stripping Was An Unusual Kind Of Escape. I Had Nothing To Escape But Privilege, But I Claimed Asylum Anyway. At Twenty-four, It Was My Last Chance To Reject Something And Become Nothing. I Wanted To Terrify Myself. Mission Accomplished.

The Things That I Write Are Autobiographical In A Surreal Sense, Like When You Have A Dream And You Go To The Doctor's Office, But Then You Turn Around And It's Actually Your Childhood Home And The Doctor Has Turned Into Ryan Reynolds.

I Normally Ignore The History Channel.
