From the Interview
INTERVIEWER
I don’t know writers who write about sex better than you do.

BEGLEY
Thank you. I enjoy doing it.

INTERVIEWER
I think the frankness of it is what makes it so sexy.

BEGLEY
It could be. I agree that those scenes are good. I’m not ashamed to admit that occasionally I’ve found myself aroused by my own depictions of sex.
