But I don't think that it's a form of family that I would be comfortable in. I've found a way to this character and this family, but I still believe that a marriage is between two people and not seven or three.
For my own family, I would always choose the makeshift, surrogate family formed by various characters unrelated by blood.
I'm always feeling like I don't belong, no matter where I am. So I'm just searching for a family nonstop, and sometimes I find it in the mosh pit, sometimes I find it when I'm doing some French TV show with the president's wife.
I figured it out at a young age: I could meet as many young people online and try to form my own family or my own record label group.
Because I didn't have brothers, I was always interested in the kids down the street that had four brothers in their family, so I became one of them - but it was not my family. I've always been attracted to temporary families. They tend to be lost characters.
I would definitely like to have a family, and whether that's with a man or a woman doesn't really matter to me. I've already got my friend who's going to be the donor, so that's taken care of. Just give me a few years and we'll go from there.
Due to my lack of family, I've almost built a family around me of friends that are, for me that is, they mean more to me than my own family.
People have been asking me if I was going to have kids, and I had puppies instead.
I've always been interested in alternative family structures.
What I'm drawn to most as a filmmaker are these tribes that are seen as 'fringe' cultures. We live in a society where many young people feel alienated, and these family constructs are an antidote to that.
So many gay men are mothers to so many young people, me included. I've had gay men who were more mother to me than my own mother ever was.
I wanna stay an eternal girlfriend. I want to have my boyfriend's children, but I don't think we need a piece of paper to regulate the game, and we don't have to go through the whole stress of a wedding and suffering to throw a good party.
We have a non-traditional family, and if it makes people uncomfortable, it's a shame that they are not more open.
I foster a lot. Not humans, animals.
