Being behind a camera, in front of the camera, is my own little deconstructionist niche.
Being an actor on a movie set is like going to the playground at recess.
I would say that although my music may be or may have been part of the cultural background fabric of the gay community, I consider myself an outsider who belongs everywhere and nowhere... Being a human being is what truly counts. That's where you'll find me.

Growing up, I fantasized about being a rock musician and that somehow it would be really easy. I didn't realize that it's so much work.
Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.

It was like being in the eye of a hurricane. You'd wake up in a concert and think, Wow, how did I get here?
Guilt for being rich, and guilt thinking that perhaps love and peace isn't enough and you have to go and get shot or something.
Rituals are important. Nowadays it's hip not to be married. I'm not interested in being hip.
I have lost someone I loved as a brother, as a closest friend, and a remarkable human being. We have also lost one of the best damn actors we'll ever see.
When I'm reading material, if I'm a little bit afraid of a part and I'm willing to admit that to myself, then I'll do it, definitely. If I'm worried about being able to do it, to get it - I absolutely just love it.
I didn't like the way the game was being played.
I've been a godmother loads of times, but being a grandmother is better than anything.
I'm not a film star, I am an actress. Being a film star is such a false life, lived for fake values and for publicity.
