As you get older it's more confusing. Suddenly, there's more pressure to fit in to your assigned gender.

People who don't have gender dysphoria aren't going to catch it by watching me dance on television.

Around 2001, I started analyzing lesbians. I started to realize that even really butch-acting or -dressing women still had a strong female identity that I never had.

Gender is between your ears and not between your legs.

Nothing was easy for us coming up. But we were rich in family.

I want to work as hard as I can. But I also want six kids! It takes a lot of courage as an actor to take time off for family. But family is everything.

There's something that happens around 27 and 28, when people start coupling off more aggressively or changing their lives according to what their economic prospects are, and not keeping themselves on par with the group - you realise suddenly that they're not your family. And I think that's very painful.

No matter how liberal or modern a family is, there will always be resistance when someone discloses that they are dating someone.
