C: But I was about to bounce back to the question before I failed to answer, because it's such a vast question: acceptance. I think I'm in a place where I do accept [myself]. It's tiny steps a bit further and a bit stronger. But I think the notion of fluidity, now, is totally in me, for me, by me.

C: I don't even try to define myself as a woman, for example. And it does liberate even more things in the songwriting, and the character, and the possibilities of what I can do theatrically. And I think with everyone who does have a feeling that fluidity is a thing, observe it as much as you can: for you, by you. Try to look at yourself. Try to do that exercise of [looking] mercilessly at yourself in the mirror — try to forget what people see of you and just really look at yourself and your face deeply, without.
When I really shut down the outside noise and I just look at myself, I see a mutant, and it's fine. [laughter] This is me not answering the question, because it's such a vast one. I'll write something about it, maybe.
