    Interesting juxtaposition in this short interview from Peter Kuper with Jules Feiffer:

    >So many of the conversations I had with some of the people, particularly Black and brown people, I knew at that time were: “What’s next? What do we do?” And it wasn’t as if we ever helped each other learn anything in particular. But we gave each other a sense of support that we certainly needed, because we felt very much in a minority, and very much in the right.

    >Failure is a big part of my process. And the title of my next book is My License to Fail. That’s an important recognition and an important statement: that in order to succeed, I have to be ready to fail at everything. And it took me years to do this, not as a judgment but as a process.

    And also:

    >Kuper: You’ve managed to keep working despite things not changing much in society—or sometimes getting worse. Has there still been a glimmer of optimism in the process?
    >
    >Feiffer: I think there used to be, certainly when I was younger, more optimism than there is now. But I can’t say that I’m a pessimist now. I think it’s an endless fight, and it goes on. Endless fights go on endlessly.

    "Endless fights go on endlessly."

  3. 3 things about Alan Arkin’s LITTLE MURDERS [1971]

    1. As he ascends the subway stairs, he crosses paths with a man bleeding from a head wound.
    2. Carol deftly opens the breech.
    3. “I married you because I wanted to mold you. I love the man I wanted to mold you into, but you’re not even there. How can I mold you when you’re not there?”
