"Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots, because it's okay to be a boy. But for boy to look like a girl is degrading, because you think that being a girl is degrading. But secretly, you'd love to know what it's like, wouldn't you? What it feels like for a girl."

"I think most men carry around a secret library full of films they've shot of every woman they ever met. Crude little sequences strung together that help us imagine what life might be like with a particular person - buying a car, going to Disneyland, standing around in Sears while she checks the price on bath towels. Despite popular belief, guys don't mentally undress every woman they meet; they simply thread them up and run them through the imaginary film projector in their heads to see what comes of it."
(Neil LaBute, from "Look at Her" in Seconds of Pleasure)

"I'm not small, I'm space-efficient."
