One of the photographer interviews that strikes me on the lensculture site is Nan Goldin's discourse:

I love some of the things she says about children like how they don't need to be assigned  a gender while they're still young. She says she's always wondered where children come from and has heard several stories from friends . . . I've heard these stories too most recently from my new friend J who impresses me most with the fact that she drove here from Reno alone, doing ten hour days and doesn't speak Spanish. She's 77. She told me one of her grandchildren reached out to her immediately after being born as if he already knew her.

Another link from a fellow playwright: an interview with Sarah Ruhl who is one of the few female playwright to have a play produced on Broadway. I've sent it to a few male playwrights-I wonder if they'll  read it . . .she has some interesting insights  especially re mothers and fathers, and of course theater- like people will watch ten hours of Dowton Abby but balk at 2 hours in a theater. Her latest play is about an American who marries a Tibetan; they give birth to a  re incarnated llama.
