"At this time in my life, I’m ready to accept or own a kind of romance and melancholy or melodrama that I wasn’t ready to reveal before. It was always there in my inner life as an artist, but I was too afraid to share it."

"Having a boy play a girl (and when I say ‘play a girl’ I don’t mean that he is represented as a girl, because he is represented as a young man) is complicated. He knows he’s looking at photographs of a girl and copying those poses. So the audience sees him as a man, but he can only see himself as a woman, because that’s the model he’s looking at. It was a really interesting exchange."
- Collier Schorr
