Quotes by John Lone
I grew up with art from the innocent age of ten – with art, but with no sense of identity.
I know people look at me and try to make conclusions about me immediately, based on the obvious, let’s say.
If you come from a normal family, you immediately start playing the role of a boy, a girl a man or a woman, but I’m sure you’ll agree with me that those are only roles, limited roles, at that.
I am not well educated or bright enough to be politically clued in, but I hope in the film that I’m going to shock a few people, win a lot of people over.
I never grew up with a mother’s hand – that’s why I will forever be insecure, I think, in that primal way.
I don’t want to sound pompous, but I really think your gender doesn’t necessarily dominate your sexual activity.
The point I’m trying to make is, I’m really quite neutral. I have not been conditioned.
