I don't even know that it's androgynous. I just feel that it's about being boundaryless. And you described, you know, with certain accuracy that Orlando, the Virginia Woolf novel and the film that we made in 1992 is about gender. I would suggest it's not only about gender. It's sort of glancingly about gender, but it's really more about boundarylessness. It's about classlessness.

I'm going to dress and behave only like this.

I think that during those first 10 years, I must have felt, and I'm only guessing at this, but I must have had a sort of bedrock of... of possibility. And I really loved it. And I would like to keep it going in my life.
