I developed a mania for Fitzgerald - by the time I'd graduated from high school I'd read everything he'd written. I started with 'The Great Gatsby' and moved on to 'Tender Is the Night,' which just swept me away. Then I read 'This Side of Paradise,' his novel about Princeton - I literally slept with that book under my pillow for two years.
I think women can be as cruel as men, and men as tender as women, and vice versa.
If we're talking about masculinity and tenderness, I don't look at Clinton.
I think that this is the first war in history that on the morrow the victors sued for peace and the vanquished called for unconditional surrender.
Even the thunderous master-blasters, like Andre Russell and MS Dhoni, men who now make scoring more than 20 runs per over look simple, often thrive on the right side of an incredibly slender gap between six and out. They are not more lucky than anyone else. They are more brilliant.
I feel so fortunate and lucky I don't have to be a waitress or a bartender or a personal trainer.
Why does 'writer' have no gender, but 'actor' has a gender? What is that?
Any good attacker will always beat a defender who's face-marking you.
Any little touch a defender can make on me when I'm in the air literally moves me. On the ground, I can use my muscle, but in the air, it's harder to fight that off.
'Tender' is my most strongly autobiographical play.
