A man will treat a woman almost exactly the way he treats his own interior feminine. In fact, he hasn't the ability to see a woman, objectively speaking, until he has made some kind of peace with his interior woman.
Interpretation
What this quote means
A man's treatment of women reflects his own relationship with his inner femininity.
This quote emphasizes the idea that a man's attitude and behavior towards women are deeply influenced by how he perceives and relates to his own inner feminine qualities. Until he acknowledges and harmonizes this aspect of himself, his understanding of women will remain subjective and incomplete, limiting his ability to connect genuinely with them.

I like to see people reunited, I like to see people run to each other, I like the kissing and the crying, I like the impatience, the stories that the mouth can't tell fast enough, the ears that aren't big enough, the eyes that can't take in all of the change, I like the hugging, the bringing together, the end of missing someone.

I kind of cheer the presence of any gay characters at all - I think the more we can saturate television with any gay character or lesbian character or transgender character, I think that's a really great thing. We're kind of getting past the fact that they're the punchline or that they're the novelty.
