J'ai toujours cru que j'écrivais sur les hommes. Avant de m'apercevoir que je n'écris que sur les femmes. Sur le fait d'en être une. Écrire sur les putes, qui sont payées pour être des femmes, qui sont vraiment des femmes, qui ne sont que ça ; écrire sur la nudité absolue de cette condition, c'est comme examiner mon sexe sous un microscope. Et j'en éprouve la même fascination qu'un laborantin regardant des cellules essentielles à toute forme de vie.

The last time my father beat me to a bloody pulp was the night he walked in on me with his woman in his bed. To be fair, she seduced me. And to be honest, I liked it. But to CPS, I was a victim.
