But last year there were 540,000 people, roughly, detained coming across the border illegally.

I can't imagine being a single parent or a single parent that doesn't have a lot of money. That's a big, huge impact on your life and your dynamic and everything - I mean, that's huge.

I'm a little hibernating animal. Anonymity is one of my favorite things. I mean, that's why I moved to New York when I was like 18, because there, there are just so many people that there's no one and you're just lost. You're completely invisible and I find that very liberating. ↗

A transvestite spends her entire life trying to look as feminine as possible and I have clearly spent mine celebrating my masculinity. ↗
