“I live in expectation – and in a fog – and feel as though I’d left you centuries ago.”— Simone de Beauvoir, from a letter to Jean-Paul Sarte, September 1938.
“Then, what are you?”
“I’m an actress.”
“So you don’t believe in anything?”
(The Little Drummer Girl, 2018)

Am I a machine without feelings? Do you think that because I am poor, obscure, plain and little that I am soulless and heartless? I have as much soul as you and full as much heart! And if God had blessed me with beauty and wealth, I could make it as hard for your to leave me as it is for I to leave you. I’m not speaking to you through mortal flesh. It is my spirit that addresses your spirit. As if we’d passed through the grave and stood at God’s feet equal. As we are!
“It’s about a girl who gets turned into a swan and she needs love to break the spell, but her prince falls for the wrong girl so she kills herself.”
