What do you look at while you’re making up your mind? Ours is not a reflective culture, we do no raise our eyes up to the hills.

People who take books on sex to bed become frigid. You get self-conscious. You can't think a story. You can't think, "I shall do a story to improve mankind." Well, it's nonsense. All the great stories, all the really worthwhile plays, are emotional experiences. If you have to ask yourself whether or not you love a girl or you love a boy, forget it. You don't. A story is the same way. You either feel a story and need to write it, or you better not write it.

But without writers who use the words with honesty and understanding and readers who know what they mean, the result can only be semantic nonsense.
Darrell Huff
