If I'm androgynous, I'd say I lean toward macho-androgynous.
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 always dressed as a man when I was at school. I loved wearing a tie and a shirt, and I was always wearing suits. Annie Lennox was my hero. I was always playing men in high school.
It's really rare that you find a designer who's willing to dress people who maybe present more masculine in their womenswear.
You don’t know what a trial it is to be —like me. I've got to keep my face like steel in the street to keep men from winking at me.
Around 2001, I started analyzing lesbians. I started to realize that even really butch-acting or -dressing women still had a strong female identity that I never had.
I look like what we have taught society a lesbian looks like. I just do. I have the short hair. I got the muscles.
