When Grant Blue reaches me, he bends his head down close enough that I can smell the soap and promise on his skin. Clean living and popularity—It’s quite the aftershave, let me tell you. If I’m being honest, the fact that he even has to bend to...
The way he looks at me makes me ache, but it isn’t fair. He hurt me first. He caused this ache from the start. This inside out, churning pain that feels mental and physical now. I fiddle with my hands, peering up at him again, and all I can think i...
It is hard to meet a stranger. Even the greatest extravert meeting even the meekest stranger knows a certain dread, though he may not know he knows it. Will he make a fool of me wreck my image of myself invade me destroy me change me? Yes, that he wi...
What if all I'd ever known was how it had been for the past three years - me being an unwanted outsider in my own family? I might have turned out like Aphrodite, and I might still be letting my parents control me because I was hoping desperately that...
They tell me you're the best and the worst thing to have happened to me, but I do not see how it can be both. For if my death resulted from your presence, an everlasting sleep would have me dreaming happily of us together. I see no bad in that. There...
My childhood, I wouldn't say it was bad. It helped me grow up. I stayed out of trouble. My parents taught me what's wrong and right, and knowing that I had a little brother following me, I had to make sure I was doing the right thing so he knows what...

For me, the filmmaking has to be about the dramaturgy.
Big Ben... hearing the chimes makes me feel at home.
The simple things in life make me very happy.
I don't make it in regular channels, and that's okay for me.
It takes me a long time to make a big purchase.
Trust me, it has been anything but easy to make it as an actor.
I'm not aggressive by nature and it was tough for me to make the transition to directing.
I cry all the time. Music makes me cry.
It took me 20 years of making movies to learn how to do it.
Flowers make me irrationally happy.
Just watching my cats can make me happy.
