Quentin Tarantino is controlled insanity, I would say. He's very loud and fun. I don't think there's anybody on the planet like him that I have ever met.

I was a boy in the ads I did as a child. My sister was the girl, and I was the boy. I had short hair and I was in overalls and I was giving flowers to my sister Daisy, who fit their model of what a girl was supposed to look like.

Every woman knows that any man engaging in street harassment can switch to anger very quickly and that anger goes to rage and their rage is their masculinity being threatened. We're scared for good reason.

This hetero - normative behavior and herd mentality is dangerous. It's okay to be different.

I'm not attracted to dangerous men. I'm attracted, apparently, to height. One ex was 6'6 the one before was 6'4, then 6'3. I like freakishly tall people.

It wasn't that I was shy to go out with him, I just didn't want people with preconceived notions to assume anything about why we were together. I was pretty careful for a while.

I just felt like, Why would you discuss my body as if it's an object? People will come up and say things like, Are your breasts real? I mean, people will come up and discuss my body as if I'm not human.

I see so much beauty in people and in the world and when I see ugliness I try to either expose it or fight but also remind myself that it's mostly just people who can't spell who say mean things.

I'd never even seen orange cheese. I mean, who decided to make that orange? And so there was something different about me that they wanted to crush. I don't think it had anything to do with my physicality, but every single day in school it was, You're the ugliest thing I've ever seen.
