From Katharine Hepburn’s 1981 interview with Barbara Walters:
Hepburn: “I have not lived as a woman. I have lived as a man…I’ve just done what I damn well wanted to and I made enough money to support myself. And I ain’t afraid of being alone.”
Walters: “Is that why also you wear pants?”
Hepburn: “No, I just wore pants because they’re comfortable.”
Walters: “Do you ever wear a skirt, by the way?”
Hepburn: “I have one.”
Walters: “You have one.”
Hepburn: “I’ll wear it to your funeral.”
Sometimes you’re staring so hard at the trash, the hellish underbelly and think “this world is such a shitshow.” Then you raise your gaze, somewhere, anywhere, and you find a lull in the storm, the eye of hope, and the beast is allayed.
That’s how I feel tonight after discovering this show. I cannot wait to see it.

Kid CuDi - Mr. Rager
Another absolutely amazing leaked track off Kid CuDi’s extremely anticipated 2nd album, Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager. You will not regret listening to this.
“…I can’t think of any greater happiness than to be with you all the time, without interruption, endlessly, even though I feel that here in this world there’s no undisturbed place for our love, neither in the village nor anywhere else; and I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more.”—

a female genet, isn’t she lovely?
“Art essentially has nothing to do with morality, convention or moralizing. I find the public passion for justice quite boring and artificial, for neither life nor nature care if justice is ever done or not. I myself have a criminal bent. I have a lurking liking for those who flout the law, which I realize is despicable of me.”
-Patricia Highsmith (via nytimes.com), an American writer who is primarily known for her psychological crime thrillers. Her work has been adapted for the screen numerous times, most famously by Alfred Hitchcock with Strangers on a Train and by René Clément with Purple Noon (an adaptation of Highsmith’s The Talented Mr. Ripley).
Highsmith was disappointed by how these adaptations softened her work, calling the changes (made to ensure “good triumphs over evil” happy endings), “terrible concessions to so-called public morality.”
