I loved everything. I read everything. Art and poetry and literature and trash and sci fi. I didn't know what I would become yet and I needed to read to figure it out.

I think I appeal to people who are living in the margins because of their identity and who need to feel freedom somewhere.

I was like, Am I gay? Am I straight? And I realized...I'm just slutty. Where's my parade?

I really (became) very independent. I was start(ed) to write one-woman shows and mak(e) films and to me I think I really felt like my choice (was) more important than any kind of career goal.

I think sex is really about the self, and really a self-reflection.

It's always considered bad taste to comment on a tragedy right when it's happening, but I love when something is considered too soon to talk about because then you can blast past that social censorship to get into something real.

The best tattooists are in San Francisco, and they're kind of like my family now. I'm always excited to come back to San Francisco.
