I'm Very Into You Quotes

“Fucking just tell me what you want and I'll go with it. That's what you do when you do s/m scenes. You discuss rules beforehand. 'Cause otherwise it's all too dangerous and there has to be trust. Well, it's the same, for me, with vanilla sex or without sex. If you don't discuss the rules, then the shit power games are outside the bed and they hurt. I'm truly no longer interested in either hurting or being hurt. It's all boring and I want to work in this world and to matter. I no longer want my time occupied by hurting and being hurt.”
― Kathy Acker, I'm Very Into You: Correspondence, 1995-1996

― Kathy Acker, I'm Very Into You: Correspondence, 1995-1996

“Because of Warhol, we were no longer freaks, outside society. It's really partly because of Warhol that I can now get angry when people treat me as an outsider, as in Brisbane char Nicholas Zurbrugg, "tattooed and pierced," because of Warhol (to begin with) I don't even have to think to reply, if you think chat, you're the freak. I am society as much as you.”
