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

An extraordinary diva would never sit by herself.

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 have no prejudice against male or female.

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 am not well educated or bright enough to be politically clued in, but I hope in the film that I'm going to shock a few people, win a lot of people over.

But I really want to be an artist, so therefore I have to live a little bit like a monk.
