More From Harvey Fierstein

My reporting in africa wouldn't be political per se, but it's certainly the point of my reporting - and of a lot of other reporters i know: human suffering is bad, and if reporting stories about it brings it to light and someone does something, that's part of the point of journalism. and it's a thin line between that and activism, and you have to be careful about that.
Political Suffering Journalism
When i was a kid, phone calls were a premium commodity; only the very coolest kids had a phone line of their own, and long-distance phone calls were made after eleven, when the rates went down, unless you were flamboyant with your spending. then phone calls became as cheap as dirt and as constant as rain, and i was on the phone all the time.
Distance Rain Kids
The new iphone has encryption that protects the contents of the phone. this means if someone steals your phone - if a hacker or something images your phone - they can't read what's on the phone itself, they can't look at your pictures, they can't see the text messages you send, and so forth. but it does not stop law enforcement from tracking your movements via geolocation on the phone if they think you are involved in a kidnapping case, for example.
Mean Thinking Phones
The truth is the committed left press in america is not longer interest in reporting the news. anything that hinders a favorable view of the far left will be ignored; anything that advances liberal causes will be celebrated. news reporting today is largely about ideology and shaping the culture, not about informing the public.
America Views Today
I don't think i can break down any doors, but i'm thinking, "maybe i can be a cameraman, because i love the cameras." and the cameraman would show me how to thread the film, how to repair it, the lenses. that's when you become, like, goony goo-goo about it. you breathe and eat camera, and all of a sudden, you don't want anything else in the world. you finally know, "this is my calling." when you're passionate about something, it doesn't become work. it's art and it's fun. it's arduous, it's sweaty.
Art Fun Thinking
When i move from being a cameraman to being a director i looked at a lot of other cameramen who tried to make the move. and in each case they moved up their camera operator to be the dp, which really meant they didn't want to give up being the dp, and really wanted to do both. and my feeling was if i was going to succeed as a director, i had to just be a director and give up the safety net of being a cameraman.

We happily give up our freedom and our income in exchange for having someone else take responsibility for telling us what to do next.
Giving Up Responsibility Income
You want to fall, that's all. you think it can't go on like that. it's as if your life is a perch on the edge of a cliff and going forward seems impossible, not for a lack of will, but a lack of space. the possibility of another day stands in defiance of the laws of physics. and you can't go back. so you want to fall, let go, give up, but you can't. and every breath you take reminds you of that fact. so it goes.
Letting Go Giving Up Fall
