“The price of fame, Don. Now you’ve got the glory, you gotta take the little heartaches that go with it. Now look at me- I got no glory, I got no fame, I got no big mansions, I got no money! But I’ve got- What have I got?”

For Me and My Gal (1942), dir. Busby Berkeley

It’s really vitally important to me the way women are portrayed. As someone who has always felt at times pretty genderless because of my size, it interests me to challenge ideas of prejudice and femininity and what it is to be a woman. It’s still something that I don’t have all the answers for but I would like to make a bit of a difference; do something, anything, that causes people to have more sense of equality.

Six weeks sitting in a two-room apartment with nothing to do but look out the window at the neighbors. ..If you don’t pull me out of this swamp of boredom, I’m gonna do something drastic…like what? I’m gonna get married and then I’ll never be able to go anywhere.”
