Though I Can’t Be Certain, I Suspect That This Hollywood Actress I’m Interviewing May Be Entertaining Thoughts Of Having Sex With Me →
A Jake Tapper (!) piece from McSweeneys (!) in 1999 (!) speaks to point 4 of Maura’s “How Not To Write About Female Musicians: A Handy Guide.”
This is seriously genius. And so applicable to like… everything:
She doesn’t have tartar sauce. Just ketchup. She apologizes. That’s okay, I say. She asks me about writing profiles like this one. Is it fun? Is it interesting? Who else have I written about? Anyone famous? She isn’t like the self-absorbed actresses of other days, other interviews…she’s interested. In me.
