“When you're more mature, you do start telling the truth, in odd situations. "I'm sorry, I've broken a glass here. Is that expensive? I'll pay for it. I'm sorry." And you do that so that people in the room might go, "What a strong personality that person has. I like to have sex with people with strong personalities."” PeoplePersonsMightStrongSexRoomsPaySituationBrokenPersonalitySorryGlassesOddExpensiveTelling The TruthMatureI'm SorryStrong PersonStrong Personality Author:Eddie Izzard
“[On women as priests:] It has always seemed very odd to me that this particular sphere of activity should remain a male closed shop, seeing that, to judge from church attendance, women are the more religious sex - while our criminal statistics make quite clear that they are the least wicked.” ShouldSexChurchReligiousClearSeeingParticularJudgingActivityMalesCriminalsOddWickedShopsPriestsStatisticsSpheresClergyAttendanceChurch Attendance Author:Mary Stocks, Baroness Stocks
“It seems to me a purely lyric poet gives himself, right down to his sex, to his mood, utterly and abandonedly, whirls himself roundtill he spontaneously combusts into verse. He has nothing that goes on, no passion, only a few intense moods, separate like odd stars, and when each has burned away, he must die.” GivingSeemsPoetryDiesPassionStarsSexPoetGoes OnMoodIntenseOddBurnedVerses Author:D.

“It’s an odd term, 'girlfriend,' particularly for grown persons. And in practice it provides an even odder concept. Generally speaking, in adults it described a woman, not a girl, who was willing to provide sex, not friendship. In fact, from what I had observed it was quite possible for one to actively dislike one’s girlfriend, although of course true hatred is reserved for marriage.” PersonsFactsGirlCoursesSexTermPracticeWillingConceptsAdultsHatredOddGirlfriendDislikeReservedNot Friends Book:Dearly Devoted Dexter Source: Dearly Devoted Dexter

“It's just odd that something as essential in life as sex has been flattened out in mainstream cinema - and in art cinema. Even in art movies, sex always seems to be treated negatively.
