From Daniel Robert Epstein’s interview of Jonathan Ames for Suicide Girls:
Some stuff is in the book but I tended not to put down the real bad stuff. I’ve often said that it’s a little like a shell game. Like look at how honest I am and then people would let me off then secretly there is this other shit which is so painful and humiliating I can’t talk about it. The usual stuff like alcohol, drugs and pursuing sex.
Hmmmm…
Lemmy: Oh, no. I might be the only guy in the western hemisphere, but that doesn’t do anything for me. I like there to be guys and then, pretend that it’s me.
Me: Finally, we’ve found each other, Lemmy. I’m the other guy in the Western Hemisphere. In fact, that hot girl on girl action would do anything for any guy seems preposterous to me. Hello! They don’t need you, want you, it has nothing to do with you, so butt out!
“…good sex is a dead end in fiction. but all kinds of bad sex, failed sex is fair game.”
