On Being "Yourself"
It really irks me when people make a big deal of "being yourself."
I'll be the first to say that I'm a big ol' faker. I costume, I pose, I manipulate. By cliche standards, I'm not very "real." My acting comes naturally to me, though. It's just what I do.
So, if I were one day to try to just let it all go and "be real," would that really be being "true" to myself? If I were to deny my instincts like that, would I be any less fake? I don't think so.
I'm a goddamn faker, and I'm proud of it. People are more complicated than "real" and "fake." My duplicity and posturing is just as natural to me as eating and breathing. Take that away, and I wouldn't be "being myself" at all.
So fuck you, you "realists," I'm a poser, I'm an actress, a liar and a faker, and nothing's gonna change about that.

I've never though about it in that way.
But I guess it doesn't matter because I don't give a fuck what people call me or say about me I just do what I do.
Just like you.
