Movies
"I also like the whole idea of fairy tales and folk tales being a woman's domain, considered a lesser domain at the time they were told."

We must know the pain of loss; because if we never knew it, we would have no compassion for others, and we would become monsters of self-regard, creatures of unalloyed self-interest.
