“My roles in the '80s were, like, gender dysphoric. I wasn't pretty, I wasn't this, I wasn't that. And I am kind of butchy, you know. That's just my thing.”

“I like people to have their own reaction and their own take on things. And I don't like to shove my - what I want them to feel or think - down their throats. I like people to say, 'What was that about?' or 'Why did that happen?' And so, any reactions are welcome.”

“I am a single mom of three girls, and I'm getting through that. If I can get through that, I can direct a whole season of television that I star in.”

“Gender is a way to hide from the simple truth we all tell: 'Hey, I'm here, I have a body.'”

“I never went through a gender identity problem, but I did with my sexuality.”

“I've never played on my gender.”
