Just be your true self ❤️
Non-conformity is the only way to breathe. I looked at the "glamour" of the industry and saw a lot of hungry, unhappy people. I decided to be the one who eats the sandwich. Playing "Waynetta" or "Perry" allowed me to explore the glorious grotesquerie of the British working class. I wasn't mocking them; I was them. I channeled the aggression, the apathy, and the brilliant, cutting wit of the streets.
Directing is control. I stepped off the stage because I wanted to pull the strings. I have a "bu****it detector" that is always on. Whether I'm working with actors or judging a drag show, I want truth. I want the messy, ugly, hilarious reality, not the polished PR version.
Grumpiness is content. I am the "Queen of C**t." I reclaimed the word. Being a "difficult woman" just means you know what you want. I am the nation's auntie who smokes out the window and tells you to sort your life out.
