"I feel that we’re all the same no matter
who we choose to love."
On Brandon Teena, whom she played in Boys Don"t Cry..."I‘ve
been very inspired from Brandon. He‘s changed my whole life. I‘ve
also been inspired to live my dreams, to be myself and to live every
moment. In society, everyone tells you what you should be and we‘re
all trying to figure out who we are. Now I‘m living every moment
fully. Brandon had a fuller life in those twenty-one years than
a lot of people who live to be fifty. So I‘ve been lucky."
