Doubt Oscars Wilde

More From Camille Paglia

Of course, both [oscar] wilde & [vladimir] nabokov believe in many things, and these things emerge in their writing clearly - for wilde, the folly of humankind and the (romantic) grandeur of the heroic, lone individual (not unlike wilde himself); for nabokov, the possibility of a kind of transcendence through a great, prevailing, superior sort of love (especially in ada, the most self-congratulatory of novels.)
Believe Writing Self
Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read...if you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.
Filmmaking Filmmaker Ifs
Everyone in the movie industry wants to win an oscar. i don't think that's why you make movies. but winning an oscar is not just about making a great movie, unfortunately. it's also having a good oscar campaign.
Winning Thinking Campaigns
White boys always get the oscar. it's a known fact. did i ever get a nomination? no! you know why? cause i hadn't played any of them slave roles, and get my ass whipped. that's how you get the nomination. a black dude who plays a slave that gets his ass whipped gets the nomination, a white guy who plays an idiot gets the oscar. that's what i need, i need to play a retarded slave, then i'll get the oscar.
Boys Play White
I'm over the oscar thing. i feel that if you really want an oscar, you're in trouble. it's like wanting to be married - you'll take anybody. if you want the oscar really badly, it becomes a naked desire and ambition. it becomes very unattractive. i've seen it.
Ambition Desire Acting
A ready means of being cherished by the english is to adopt the simple expedient of living a long time. i have little doubt that if, say, oscar wilde had lived into his nineties, instead of dying in his forties, he would have been considered a benign, distinguished figure suitable to preside at a school prize-giving or to instruct and exhort scout masters at their jamborees. he might even have been knighted.

School Creative Preparation
If you can't go to secondary school, the boys get to go and the girls don't, you're locked into a cycle of poverty, because you don't have a chance.
Girl School Boys
I was very much a tough new york street kid. i went to a school where you had to learn how to get along with everybody or fight with everybody, and i did my fair share of both.

Being famous is just like being in high school. but, i'm not interested in being the cheerleader. i'm not interested in being gwen stefani. she's the cheerleader, and i'm out in the smoker shed.
