I'm not involved with the female world.

I wasn't playing a drag queen - I was playing an extraordinary performer.

I really need to be alone. I can't deal with someone sleeping next to me.

I don't want to sound pompous, but I really think your gender doesn't necessarily dominate your sexual activity.

If you come from a normal family, you immediately start playing the role of a boy, a girl a man or a woman, but I'm sure you'll agree with me that those are only roles, limited roles, at that.

I never grew up with a mother's hand - that's why I will forever be insecure, I think, in that primal way.

The point I'm trying to make is, I'm really quite neutral. I have not been conditioned.

I have not lived so abundantly, full of family, full of continuity and history.

I didn't have parents, so I lived in people's homes... And because I grew up with no parental role models, I learned to become my own friend, eventually my own father and my own mother.

I grew up with art from the innocent age of ten - with art, but with no sense of identity.

An extraordinary diva would never sit by herself.

I’m pretty much the definition of an American Hero.

My acting's very understated. I think my sad and happy don't play that differently onscreen.

Social media has a way of revealing someone and can be very telling.

The Arctic is the planet's air conditioner and it's starting to break down.

From love one can only escape at the price of life itself; and no lessening of sorrow is worth exile from that stream of all things human and divine.

You know how that feels?

You write that first draft really to see how it's going to come out.

[The biggest disappointment is] that he [Barack Obama] deported everybody and their grandmother.

I'm quite happy there is a man in the world who can overcome my record, finally.

Comics is a great medium to get a lot of stories out.
