Background Image
The death agony of the barricade was about to begin.for, since the preceding evening, the two rows of houses in the rue de la chanvrerie had become two walls; ferocious walls, doors closed, windows closed, shutters closed. a house is an escarpment, a door is a refusal, a facade is a wall. this wall hears, sees and will not. it might open and save you. no. this wall is a judge. it gazes at you and condemns you. what dismal things are closed houses.

The only street i like is rue honore de balzac, because 'balzac' sound so gay, and i love my gays. i might like parisians more if they named their streets only for gay icons, like rue liza minnelli or rue bette midler or, my favorite, rue mcclanahan.

I've always thought of characters like advent calendars. you have christmas and you have all the little doors over the windows and every day you're allowed to open one more as it gets towards christmas and you see more and more about what's inside that house.i remember as a kid being fascinated by that and i've always thought of my character as a little bit like that. i like to have secrets and slowly let those secrets out to the audience, sometimes never let them out, but let them see as you open the shutters, open and see a little bit more of a character.

Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors. behind one door is a car, the others, goats. you pick a door, say #1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say #3, which has a goat. he says to you: 'do you want to pick door #2?' is it to your advantage to switch your choice of doors?
