I guess professionally I've left my gender open to artistic interpretation.

At no point do I wish to be in conflict with any man or masculine thought. It doesn't enter my consciousness. Art is anonymous. It's not competitive with men. It's a complementary contribution.

I don't think you should categorize yourself as an artist.

Ah, well, do I wish that we lived in a world where gender didn't figure so prominently? Of course. Do I even think about myself as a woman when I go to make art? Of course not.

I don't call myself an artist. I act. That's what I do.

I find male singers and what they sing about fascinating. It makes me realize how little we know about ourselves and how little I know about myself. It's interesting to see the male perspective.

I consider myself an artist. God granted me some gifts so that I could express myself artistically.
