Some Annie Proulx Quotes:
“I found myself wondering what a gay person in such a masculine-oriented society did -- whether they fled to Denver or toughed it out. I began thinking about homophobia. In fact, the thing that destroyed the relationship between the two characters was their own homophobia.”
"The characters Jack and Ennis are poor ranch kids autochthonous native, born to the soil, part of the place. Their lives are hard in multiple ways. Neither they nor their stories have sentimental qualities. My writing is not sentimental and neither is Ang Lee's film. The Wyoming landscape, like human behavior, is extremely complex, and I think the basic basinand- range topography, the mix of high plains, forested mountains, desert, highways and dirt roads, with all that such varied landscape can mean psychologically, is expressed in both the story and the film. "
“If you are looking for smart judging based on merit, skip the Academy Awards next year and pay attention to the Independent Spirit Awards .”
But I think my favorite Annie quote would be the first to the last word in her Brokeback Mountain short story. ;)
(To think I hadn't even heard of it before I saw BBM in theatres..)

It will take a little while to get to her anyway so it won't matter that it is a belated wish.
