“When I was young, I couldnt imagine women of 60 falling in love. For one thing, people used to stay married; they werent out in the jungle, searching for romance.

“If I tell you my character has grey hair, you will not see her. If I tell you she has a tiny scar at the upper left corner of her lip from which protrudes one grey whisker—you will make up the rest of her face with absolute clarity. If I tell you my character is waiting in a car, you won’t be ‘caught,’ but if I tell you he pushes his fingers down in the crack of the car seat where the ancient leather has pulled away from the seat frame, and pulls up a small coin purse with a faded note in it—you will be mine.” IfsCharacterFacesLeftWaitingCarMinesHairAbsolutesNotesFingersLipsAncientCaughtCornersTinyClaritySeatsCracksScarGreyCoinsLeatherPursesFadedPull UpsWhiskersGrey Hair Book:Writing Alone and with Others Source: Writing Alone and with Others

“I think a lot of these terms, nationalistic things, somebody is an American, or somebody is a Frenchman, or somebody is a Jew, I don't know, it doesn't mean anything to me. You really should start augmenting these words, saying what kind. If you want to say somebody is a Jew, what do you mean by that? Does he have blonde hair? I think a lot of these ancient nationalistic and ethnic terms have kind of lost their meaning, or their meaning is so broad, it's nothing. It's like he's connected to the ancient world.

“My own feeling about JJ, without knowing anything about him, was that he might have been a gay person, because he had long hair and spoke American. A lot of Americans are gay people, aren’t they? I know they didn’t invent gayness, because they say that was the Greeks. But they helped bring it back into fashion. Being gay was a bit like the Olympics: it disappeared in ancient times, and then they brought it back in the twentieth century. Anyway, I didn’t know anything about gays, so I just presumed they were all unhappy and wanted to kill themselves.” PeopleKnowsPersonsLongHas BeensFeelingsMightWantedBitsMy OwnKnowingCenturyFashionHairGayAncientUnhappyGreekSpokesOlympicsMight Have BeenTwentieth CenturyGay PeopleBeing GayLong HairAncient TimesGayness Author:Nick Hornby
