-Well you know what is interesting,
I knew that you were my kind of human
when I first heard you say that
we're all born naked, and the rest is just drag.
Because I have a different way of saying that,
but I mean the same thing, that we're all in
these kind of bodysuits, and you come up with
these definitions, and these ideas about who
you really are. But we all are, my favorite quote,
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, who said we are
spiritual beings having a human experience.
-Yeah. That's exactly right.
And I got that as a kid. I was a young kid,
and I thought, is everybody getting that this
is all kind of an illusion?
And I couldn't get anybody to corroborate
with me, until-
-Do you remember the first time
you thought that though?
-I remember when my parents were in the
living room going crazy,
beating each other up. I knew this can't be right.
But you know, when I was about 11 years old,
on PBS, I found my tribe in Monty Python's
Flying Circus. I thought, okay they get it.
Okay, they're irreverent, they're not taking
anything seriously, and they're having fun.
That's what this is all about.
So that's when I, I got it very early.
My sisters also, we laughed.
That was our sanctuary,
was a place where we could find some peace.
