I don't ever want my daughter growing up questioning who she is or her choices. I want her to be a strong, happy individual.

My grandma was a nurse, and she helped a lot of transgender clients, so growing up, I was very aware of that, and my family and I have always been very supportive of people going through this.

I actually just keep things very professional. I don't need acceptance from anyone but God, so that's just kind of where I focus it all.

I just want women to support each other.

Mandy' came from grief and depression. I wanted this to be an outward volcanic expulsion of the emotion of my first film.

I gave three years of my life to take care of my dying mother who had Alzheimer's disease. Being there for her every need for three years might have looked codependent but it wasn't because it was what I wanted to do.

Early this morning, I signed my death warrant.

We're all like children. We may think we grow up, but to me, being grown up is death, stopping thinking, trying to find out things, going on learning.
