Quotes
"I remember growing up with Mechanical Animals by Marilyn Manson, seeing that imagery and being like, “What the hell? He's literally on MTV with tits!” That really influenced me, so I want to explore that whole idea that gender isn't a real thing -- that it's just something they came up with to categorize and control people."[4]
