Of course, I can’t separate my queerness from my brownness - if anything, my queerness amplifies my brownness, and vice versa - but I spent so much of my early twenties trying to erase my differences, often without awareness of what I was doing Picture Quote #1

Every snotty egotistical teenager thinks they’re smarter than the world they crawled out of. It didn’t take me so long to grow out of that. I think I was only in my early twenties when I realized I was just relying on received ideas Picture Quote #1

In Among the White Moon Faces, I wrote about my desire to be a writer as rooted in my obsessive hours of reading English novels and poetry. It was that spur, that desire, that pushed me to set aside love and marriage in my early twenties Picture Quote #1

I am haunted by what my life would have been had I not had the courage in my early twenties to leave Pittsburgh for New York City and really commit to being a writer.

I’ve never forgotten what it’s like to be in your early twenties, which is not a particularly easy time.

We don’t really give enough credence to that time of life and to its troubles Picture Quote #1

Movie acting is a great job for your twenties: You travel all over, you have affairs with people, and you throw yourself into one part and then another. It gets more challenging as you get older, and it’s not just having a daughter, it’s wanting to have your own life and be yourself Picture Quote #1

How can a man marry wisely in his twenties? The girl he’s going to wind up wanting hasn’t even been born Picture Quote #1

Downtown Toronto is a very good place to talk about the neutrality of modernist architecture. I’m sure this kind of box-building was interesting in the Twenties, Thirties and Forties, but I think it’s absolutely ridiculous to build like this in 2013 Picture Quote #1

I’m 47, I have gray hair, and yet people still come up to me on the street who are in their twenties, who weren’t even born when ‘Singles’ was made...well, they were pretty tiny, anyway...and they say, ‘Oh, I love that movie ‘Singles.’’ And I always say, ‘How old are you?’ Picture Quote #1
