I don't only write about English literature; I also write about chaos theory and. . . ants. I can understand ants.
People always want me to talk about Wonder Woman, so I do.
Every gay reader understands the secret self that is full and wonderful and has longing and tenderness and a desire for connection to other people. I think that arguments against gay marriage are just ridiculous! Who cares? People want to get married for the same reason I wanted to get married.

I'll tell you. . . why Wonder Woman worked. Or Bionic Woman. Or any of those [shows] really. It was because it wasn't about brawn. . . it was about brains. And yes, she happened to be beautiful, she happened to be kind of extraordinary in some way, but she wasn't a guy. And I think that, [now], they. . . put out a female hero, and all they are doing is changing the costume from a man to a woman. . . they're not showcasing any of the tremendous dichotomies than women possess in term of softness and toughness, sweetness and grit, inner and outer strength.

I didn't want to miss out on that.
People have tried to put me in a box my whole life. I'm too tall. I'm too pretty. Too Miss USA. Wonder Woman. Prettiest woman in the world. And all of that. It doesn't matter because I've gone my own way and have tried to approach my career from a gut level, doing what I thought was right.

I grew up in a musical family; the majority of my growing up was done in Hawaii. It's what we do. You sing, you dance, you play ukulele and you drink.
It's as if we're higher apes who had a language faculty inserted.
