I went to regular schools and I was home schooled a lot but I don't have any history in schools. Like, I literally don't exist. I didn't even get a birth certificate until the mid-80s. I always feel like I could be, like, 10 years younger, or maybe I'm 70!

I think working with artists is incredibly important for everybody in the world, but also, it is a way of seeing the world differently.

While I learned, I hid out largely in the gay community, and overall it kept me very safe.

I've seen many actors go awry by making the wrong choices early on.

I'd never even seen orange cheese. I mean, who decided to make that orange? And so there was something different about me that they wanted to crush. I don't think it had anything to do with my physicality, but every single day in school it was, "You're the ugliest thing I've ever seen."

The people that are the invisible ones, the marginalized, the quote-unquote weirdos, the people that get things thrown at them, the people that get harassed every day just for existing . . . I just still strongly align with them.

I really prize my freedom more than work. I prize just being human and doing other things.
