I’m black and white, so either, sometimes, you’re not considered by the breakdown of the script: you’re not ‘black enough’ for this role. Or you’re not ‘white enough’ for this role. Or, like, looking up to people, who do I identify with? And not seeing Barbies that maybe look like me.
I’m an artist. I’m a gay artist. My preferred identity is, ‘any of the sort.’ My fans like to identify me as ‘she,’ but I’m comfortable with who I am, I know who I am and it’s all fine with me.

Reality does not easily give up meaning; it’s the biographer’s job to clobber it into submission. You’re meant not only to tame it but to extract substance, to identify cause and axiomatic effect. You subsist on the tactical omissions, the hollow words, the oddly unconnected dots.
I usually start from the most general to the more specific. I’ll get an emotional overview for the film as a whole, trying to pinpoint what the musical identity is and come up with thematic ideas – any ideas that identify as succinctly as possible what the film is.
My main efforts focussed on trying to identify the rate controlling steps during the cell cycle. Crucial for this analysis were wee mutants that were advanced prematurely through the cell cycle and so divided at a reduced cell size.
