Quote context

[...]

- I heard about this old guy who, was watching some young people dance, and he said, 'How beautiful. They're trying to shake off their genitals and become angels.' -I like that.

- All right, one question. Back there... When the women are dancing and being all spiritual and stuff, right? Where are the men? Are we out food gathering? Are we not invited? Y'all don't need us? What?

- Men are lucky we don't bite off their head after mating. Certain insects do that, you know? Like spiders and stuff? We at least let you live. What are you complaining about?

- Yeah. See, you're officially kidding, but there's somethin' to that. You keep bringing stuff like that up.

- What? No, no, no. Wait a minute. Talking seriously here.

- I mean, I always feel this pressure of being a strong and independent icon of womanhood, and not making look like my whole life is revolving around some guy.

- But... loving someone, and being loved, means so much to me.

- I always make fun of it and stuff, but isn't everything we dream in life a way to be loved a little more?

- Yeah. I don't know. Sometimes I dream about being a good father and a good husband. And sometimes that feels really close. But then other times, it seems silly, like it would, ruin my whole life.

- And it's not just a fear of commitment, or that I'm incapable of caring or loving, because... I can.

- It's just that... if I'm totally honest with myself, I think I'd rather die knowing that I was really good at something, that I had excelled in some way. You know? Than that I'd just been in a nice, caring relationship.
