And Yet Another Random Movie Quote: Capote

he had a small voice
yet his works were beyond great
the movie profound

Truman Capote: I had lunch with Jimmy Baldwin the other day.
Party Guest: How is he?
Truman Capote: He's lovely, he's a lovely man. And he told me the plot of his new book. And he said to me, "I just wanted to make sure it's not one of those problem novels," you know. And I said , "Jimmy. You're book is about a Negro homosexual who's in love with a Jew. Wouldn't you call that a problem?"
[Party Guests Laugh]
Truman Capote: And he looked at me and he laughed because he knew I was right. I'm saying, you know, if you're going to write something like that, at least be honest why you're writing it.
Party Guest: Can't we just be honest?
Truman Capote: Well, I don't think you actually need to be honest. But don't come asking some white man from the South whether your book about a black man fucking some Jew, when they're both of the same sex, is an issue! Don't ask me that! Oh, no, it's not an issue, Jimmy. Everyone's gonna be quite pleased with that topic.

Writing is such great fun when you're controversial, isn't it?
