I’ve always presented as a very cisgender male and that was part of the reason I was able to cover so easily… I was always in such a strictly binary environment growing up. I was never given an opportunity to sort of play into more genderqueer fashion.
I strive to create new opportunities in terms of partnerships and new works being presented and things you haven’t seen anywhere else. Also to help you see old things in ways you haven’t seen them before.

If I think back on the books to which I have devoted my entire life, I am most surprised by those moments when I have felt as if the sentences, dreams, and pages that have made me so ecstatically happy have not come from my own imagination – that another power has found them and generously presented them to me.
Every theory presented as a scientific concept is just that; it’s a theory that tries to explain more about the world than previous theories have done. It is open to being challenged and to being proven incorrect.

If the opportunities are not being presented to me, I’m going to take the reins and do it. Brit Marling was not waiting for the phone to ring. The great roles are not there to be had. If you have an idea, do it.

Only those who’ve presented live television really know how difficult it is to make it look easy.
One of the biggest turnoffs is being presented with an idea that’s already, to a degree, complete. That’s not an adventure, and it’s not a learning experience. It’s more of a chore. Then you become a technician with taste, as opposed to an explorer and an author.
Pictures often sit inside of pictures, but the edges of pictures and objects are rarely subjected to serious challenge; we are presented with distinct, whole pictures and objects.
