New York during that time was a lot different than it is now, especially dealing with the AIDS crisis. The gay community and also the arts community were highly affected. There was a different energy in the city at the time, and I think it's very important for my character to be going and coming to all these funerals. You start tallying up the deaths of friends, and it takes a toll on a person. |
The bottom line, especially for my character, is the issue of unconditional love. |
