You edited out the Wilde aphorism Ms Carter began: A woman's tragedy is that she becomes her mother, a man's is that he does not.

Makes little sense until you think about it and then you just end up with an opinion, not a general truth so its not an aphorism but a simple quote meant to bewilder under the guise of meaningingness.

Is there an unedited version anywhere?

Irritating that this is cut?

It would help to know exactly when this interview happened... 1985 perhaps...?

[@drparnassus2867]

So is she talking about Vietnam from 1:30 onwards? It doesn't make much sense without any context.

[@finosuilleabhain7781]

Tell us more. I know - in fact I've known for the last 15 minutes - that she did a screenplay on that subect. Was it for the same project, and are you suggesting some of it ended up being used, unacknowledged?
