00:00Vous savez, c'est bon de trouver un moyen de...
00:03Juste de sort of stand-up, lightz-your-hair-on-fire,
00:05take-off-all-your-clothes,
00:07et juste de venir vraiment hard en public.
00:09Et d'être comme, « Look, c'est cool, actually!
00:11C'est OK! »
00:14Pour mon premier film, je me suis dit, « It has to be that! »
00:23Juste comment stifling it is to live in a female body
00:25and have, like, your inner voice be told to just shut up constantly.
00:28Yeah, walking around with a female body is a political act.
00:31You gotta have some real velocity to keep standing up.
00:34Like, and it sounds so dramatic, it's just that it's true.
00:37You said that the book had one of your favorite books.
00:40Yeah, I think, I think I read the book when I was like,
00:43I think I was like 25.
00:44I had already had, like, a long career
00:47and people ask me questions and give me a stage in which to speak
00:52and I still feel like I hadn't really said much.
00:56Like, I hadn't really been very honest even though I do try and be honest, like, to a fault.
01:02There are things that feel, like, you know, steeped in shame
01:06that you're just really not supposed to articulate.
01:08Because if you say things too harshly, people don't listen.
01:11I think the whole point of this is to have it be beautiful.
01:14It's like some things that are violent can be stunning.
01:17It's like the hairline fracture between pain and pleasure is so obvious.
01:22And so it's like, it's okay that bad things happen to you.
01:26If you can sort of rebrand them, repossess them through words and ask for what you want,
01:31you can have anything and it's not weird.
01:34You know, it's like just de-stigmatizing really normal, gross experiences,
01:40sexual experiences that everyone has.
01:42Jesus Christ, like, even if you've not been abused in that way,
01:45even if you've not had, like, a particular experience with violation,
01:48as a woman, as a queer person, the violation is unending and it's every day.
01:53And it's in the images that we consume, it's in every conversation in the media.
01:58It's in our patriarchal, oppressed society.
02:00Like, I say that and people go, oh, feminist bullshit.
02:03You know, it's nice to maybe find a way to just to sort of stand up,
02:07light your hair on fire, take off all your clothes and just come really hard in public
02:12and be like, look, it's cool, actually. It's okay.
02:15Like, that, I'm like, for my first movie, I was just like, it has to be that.
