Glen: It’s… you, like, become this blank canvas and it gives you an opportunity to project onto that canvas who you want to be. That’s what’s interesting because everybody does that.

Weekend (2011)
“Is it really wrong that I find the whole orphan thing pretty sexy?”

The whole straight narrative is there for you to inherit, it’s just there. There to shape your foundations, to set you up… Boy meets girl, they go skipping through the meadows and that’s how your life is set. Everything is there. All the books, all the films, all the tv shows, everything is just inherited to you… given to you.
