I'm interested in that whole question of where we wear our identity and how can we see it.

We talked [with Scott Derrickson] about making it kind of muscular and practical. Yeah it's a fantasy but what's the difference between fantasy and reality really?

I would say that I think the film [I am love] is absolutely about nature, it recommends human nature. You don't need to recommend change, that's inevitable, it's the only reliable thing we have.

The whole thing of working in collaboration with filmmakers is the thing that I love the most, and possibly the thing I do the best.

We're like the raw food movement in cinema - so determined to give people things that do some good, that they recognize as real.

Even beyond sexuality, I'm generally interested in identity.

Maybe it was my revenge on people who had been unkind to me as a child. But it was very easy and a thrill to freeze up children.
