If your life was portrayed in a novel/play/film what would the over riding themes be? The moral, if any?
Well, first of all, I’d be played by Ewan MacGregor and it would be a musical called Crazy for Coco-Puff! I love titles with exclamation points. The central theme would be one of optimism in the face of adversity and obesity, with many subplots and tangential entanglements illustrating how love not only conquers all, but how all eventually get conquered by my love, if not destroyed by the assault. The moral of my life can be condensed into Marie Windsor’s dying words in The Killing: “Life’s a big joke, and there’s no punch-line.”
