I love the absurd - kind of absurdist comedy, absurd things in life.

At 13, when I was a runaway, I was taken in by the most amazing drag queens in Portland, Ore. We didn't always know where our next meal was coming from, but there was so much camaraderie and love. Not to mention, those girls could paint a face, and I learned how because of them.

People get so burned out on hearing about sexism, but you know what? I would love to burn out on it. I would love to never talk about that again, but until we're all equal I shall have to fight, and remain fighting.

There are some movies that I absolutely hate but someone else loves - people love things for different reasons.

I still say I can do whatever I want as long as I'm not hurting anybody else. I don't understand why more people aren't like that.

I don't believe in rules. I would be happy to be climbing a pyramid when I'm 70. And I know I will be.

I was never nervous directing. Not once. I'm more nervous acting. I'm far more nervous on set, before I say my lines, than I ever have been, as a director.
