“I went to school, and I remember that you had to do these tests to find out what set you're in - how clever you are.

That was kind of a bizarre existential crisis for an 11-year-old to have, but in the end I always stuck with Kit, because I felt that's who I was. I'm not really a "Chris."”

Every man has a different idea of what's beautiful, and it's best to take the gesture, the shadow of the branch, and let the mind create the tree.”

I said, "Well, whatever I am, I am the blonde!”
