"Do you like the funny man with the strange hairdo, or the mean grandmother for president in the United States? These are common sense things that people should be able to debate. And if you are not allowed to, then you should probably not be allowed to think about anything."
On identity: "Identity is a very strange concept. It can mean two opposite things. It can mean that which makes you unique and it can mean that which makes you identical...You don’t want to pretend that it does not exist and you don’t want to make it all-important..."
"It is very hard for us to find the right way to talk about this. As a gay person I don’t want to be in the closet, but I also don’t want to be in the ghetto. The closet and the ghetto are exclusive, but I hope they are not exhaustive, those are not the only two."
