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

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.

But as a woman, I really started feeling vulnerable on the set, and I really felt that it was important that I should not be open for invitation or making myself look as though I was waiting for something.

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

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

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