I know how IRRITATING it is when a PRODUCER puts his HAND in EVERYTHING.
When I SPEAK English, I've been told, I have this patrician way of SPEAKING that's very IRRITATING. It's the WHOLE class thing.
Recently I made the mistake of opening a BUNDLE of reviews that someone had sent me of a production from years and years ago, and someone had written a really LOVELY REVIEW except that it made a remark about the WAY I spoke: 'A LOT of people find her voice terribly irritating.' Do they? I had no idea.
I EXPRESS things through CHARACTERS because I have a fear that my own voice is IRRITATING because that's been SAID to me.
I have always had a talent for IRRITATING women since I was FOURTEEN.
I think intelligence is usually SEXY until it BECOMES IRRITATING. After that, you're stuck.
