Eve, does this mean I can quote you by name on my quotations page? The one about abortion?

I yi yi, am I blushing!

Matt, yeah, I guess go ahead and use my name–goodness knows, I’ve said worse in print.

Nemo, dwtno, I’m glad you’ve been enjoying my stuff! I can’t quite recall the order, but I have Movieline pieces coming out on “Bad Cop,” “Pokemon” and “Male Soap Stars.” Hope my humor-deficient editors don’t cut the punch lines out of the jokes “for space reasons.”

And as for my Tallulah/Mrs. Parker qualities, you can ask Ike, Mel and the other NY’rs. I’m not always as ladylike as I appear in my photo . . .

OK, Eve, there you are, right between Goethe and Emma Goldman.

" . . .there you are, right between Goethe and Emma Goldman."

Hmm, if I had a dime for every time I’ve heard THAT . . .
