“I hope it’s in the tradition of a homosexual male writer writing about a larger-than-life female character. Christopher Isherwood’s The Berlin Stories, Truman Capote’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s, those are the two most famous examples. I think it should be celebrated. If the heterosexual male writer met Sally Bowles or Holly Golightly and wrote about them, it would be a very different kind of book, don’t you think? It would be pretty unpleasant.”
