I think there has to be an underlying sexuality. There has to be a perverseness to the clothes. There is a hidden agenda in the fragility of romance. It's like a Story of O. I am not big on women looking naive. There has to be a sinister aspect, whether it's melancholy of sadomasochist. I think everyone has a deep sexuality, and sometimes it's good to use a little of it-and sometimes a lot of it-like a masquerade.

A Nation of Outsiders is smart, insightful, and politically astute.

I've never been attracted to women sexually and I wanted romance.
Say 'provoking' again. Your mouth looks provocative when you do.
I have no objection to well-written romance, but I'd read enough of it to know that that's not what I had written.
