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

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

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.

I know people look at me and try to make conclusions about me immediately, based on the obvious, let's say.

I'm not involved with the female world.

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