David Henry Hwang - As soon as a Western man comes into contact with...

As soon as a Western man comes into contact with the East -- he's already confused. The West has sort of an international rape mentality towards the East... Basically, 'Her mouth says no, but her eyes say yes.' The West thinks of itself as masculine -- big guns, big industry, big money -- so the East is feminine -- weak, delicate, poor.. But good at art, and full of inscrutable wisdom -- the feminine mystique. Her mouth says no, but her eyes say yes. The West believes the East, deep down, wants to be dominated -- because a woman can't think for herself... You expect Oriental countries to submit to your guns, and you expect Oriental women to be submissive to your men.
