“We are men. Men is what we are.”
Can somebody PLEASE develop a daytime talk show for Terry McMillan? I swear, she is one of the most entertaining interviews I’ve seen in a while. It’s so refreshing to see someone with real feelings, who hasn’t been coached by their handlers and publicists. I’m paraphrasing, but her description of the relationship went like this:
“I never expected it to be a long-term thing. When I’m 70, he was gonna be 50. We weren’t gonna be sitting on the porch in rockers. I felt that it was happiness, and you have to enjoy happiness for as long as it lasts. I treated Jonathan as a puppy. In the beginning, puppies are frisky and full of energy. You nurture and take care of a puppy, and he will lick you all over and love you to death.”
The Oprah interview wasn’t as “Springer-esque” as I had hoped, but Terry never stopped entertaining me. Whether it was her quick wit, or the animated way in which she shook her head, Terry really needs to do this on a daily basis. Forget Tyra and Martha. I want to see Terry in Fall ’06.
