As I've mentioned before, having sex is always new to me, and I am less its star than an inspector who assigns himself the case, and who is not so much assigned as stranded there, and every bed is like an open road, and I some clueless rabbit lingering in danger's path because it needs the warmth.

While [Bresson] never works with sexuality except in the most removed possible fashion, he is interested in monochromatic movement very little variation from moment to moment, and presenting people as unmotivated, even slightly vacant beings drifting through their existence, sometimes twisted and pushed in incorrect ways by his concept of God or the religious concept by which the characters rule their lives. To me this is the best way of creating a mode of deepest conveyance. The people are, as much as people could be, blank canvasses, stick [figures] in a way, sometimes weighted down with urges and emotions they don’t necessarily understand. I’m very interested in people incapable of saying what they mean or feel and instead forced to act in unsatisfying broad gestures which satisfy no one but give them what they must have in the only way they know how to get it. This idea and aesthetic is, by its nature, I guess pretty depressing. But it feels appropriate to what I want to convey about people and things, and appropriate to the lives and feelings I see around me now. That perception is, of course, all subjective, and to take on a somewhat extreme mode of conveyance and style is a risk. It can seem, in the case of my work, overly depressing, so much so that the reader is repelled in some way. But it is, I firmly believe, the best way I can, within my particular skills, do what I want to do best.

and we dreamed of his long teeth in our necks. We wanted them to wander over, place deep wet underarms to our lips, and then their white asses, then those loud mouths.
