‘There’s no playing of a role, of something cultural. No drag like “I’m a housewife,” or “I am a businessman.” There’s no trying to “be something” and romanticizing any failure at that attempt. It’s a performing by using personality as a language, to try to clear the air and create a dialogue. It’s awesome to me when someone just says it. Especially when they say it twice’
