We, as a people, we have a strong need to categorize everything. We put labels on everything and it's a totally understandable need because we are animals and we need to understand order and where to fit in.

I like to think I'm un-categorisable.

The idea is to be unrestrained by categories.

Class, race, sexuality, gender and all other categories by which we categorize and dismiss each other need to be excavated from the inside.

There are some people who fit into categories very well. But then there are a lot who don't.

I think in some ways we have allowed other people to set the agenda. Other people to define who we are.

I have worked really hard to defy categorization, to break down a taxonomy whenever it comes my way.

I think we use a lot of words and labels when trying to describe people: ones with autism, ones without autism. In general, I think that labeling people is a major issue, and people don't understand the power of language.

In America, aren't we all supposed to see beyond class, see beyond ethnicity? Are all these lines drawn to set us apart and lock us into groups?
