I can understand why younger people can feel slightly patronised by older people who lived through it. I know so many older gay men who are like: “You don’t know what the Aids crisis was like,” but I also know a lot of young gay guys who are like: “Who cares?”Īre you on a particular side of that discussion? It’s pandemic, and yet I’ve never really seen it represented in a film. That sort of discussion between an older gay man and a younger gay man, and the differences between their generations, is happening everywhere.
I’ve got a place in the Catskills for that. You can’t get on the back foot here, so it’s best to live it at volume 10 and then have somewhere else where you can go completely the other way. I grew up in the middle of a forest, and I crave getting away from everything. Would you ever remove yourself from the big city? I was just watching your Hebrides documentary (2). If I hadn’t had my arm up that sheep’s vagina, she might have died and the baby might have died. What was it like to birth a lamb when you were a kid?
