When I was about seven, I started touring the globe as part of New York's La MaMa theater company - without my parents!
I'm not making up my mind about anything right now. Things are happening so quickly for me, and I'm still in the thinking stage.
I understand about the relative strengths of people, and I don't think people have to be anything. They can be nothin' if they want to be.
I just come up with the stories and write them as well as I can. There's not really a great deal of strokey-beard thinking going on.
In particular, people have trouble understanding where I stand in relation to my characters, and very often this gets reduced to me making vicious fun of them.
The thing about Canadian women is that they seem less likely to bring up that they're Canadian. You here less about Canadian actresses than actors, I don't know why.
I'm not unhappy with the idea of appealing to people's self-interest if that's what makes them understand something about the non-human world.
Sometimes I realize halfway through a story, I'm like, 'Why would anyone care about this? It's uninteresting.'
My parents have always been very concerned of making sure we know who we are and where we come from. I have to give them credit for that. Knowing your roots is quite important.
