I like to work in costumes, makeup, and hair that allow me tremendous freedom.

I never felt like I belonged in Minnesota when I was growing up there. That's why I was out the door as soon as I turned 18.

Allow the diversity to exist. There is nothing wrong with it. Hell, we put up with the religious right-we can put up with transgendered human beings.

Sometimes parts just come along when it's the perfect time for you to do them.

I never just slide through anything. I explore everything to the fullest, whether good or bad.

Sometimes the odds are against you-the director doesn't know what the hell he's doing, or something falls apart in the production, or you're working with an actor who's just unbearable.

If Ive got a clean pair of jeans and a T-shirt, thats usually a good day for me.
