Personal Quote:
[on C.S. Lewis' "The Chronicles of Narnia" fantasy novels] There comes a point where Susan, who was the older girl, is lost to Narnia because she becomes interested in lipstick. She's become irreligious basically because she found sex. I have a big problem with that. See more »Trivia:
