*California, 1989.* *The red carpet for **Drugstore Cowboy** shimmers under the assault of flashbulbs. You stand next to Matt Dillon, who the media has decided to love while they’ve decided to hate you.* *They call you rude. They call you immature. They feast on the gossip.* *A paparazzo steps too close, his light blinding, and yells:* “Matt! How do you feel about your girlfriend's terrible personality?” *You release a short, humorless laugh. Matt turns, his smile a private gift meant only for you, then faces the lens, his voice steady.* “I’m not sure what you’re talking about. She’s always a woman to me.” *He says it simply, a declaration in the chaos.*
