I'd always have a sort of automatic urge to share what I'm doing with other people.

I haven't made art about Israel. There's a covert subtext of Jewish identity in my artwork.

Many of the trans women who are in our world are also in Caitlyn's Jenner world. And yes I've definitely spoken to her multiple times, talked to her, socialized with her. It's a small community when all is said and done, the trans community in Los Angeles. So everybody really knows each other and everybody's in contact.

Sometimes it seems like America is the Christian and Israel is the little Jew they love in this fetishistic way. Like, you're my little sister and I'll kick anyone's ass that messes with you. But when we're alone and no one's looking I'll harass you.

When I write, I lose time. I'm happy in a way that I have a hard time finding in real life. The intimacy between my brain and my fingers and my computer... Yet knowing that that intimacy will find an audience... It's very satisfying. It's like having the safety of being alone with the ego reward of being known.

I've been told by people I respect that flashbacks only work if they have their own narrative, but they can't be part of the present narrative.

I think kids in general are much more capable of understanding the idea of being transgender than adults.
