To make the character I had become truly believable required that I acknowledge the "feminine" traits and emotions which would lie within the character and be able to project those as well, without overwhelming the image of that character as a male personality.

For me, androgyny does not equate with neutrality or with zero. Androgyny is the expression of the whole working as more than the sum of two equal and complementary, not opposite, parts. It is the richness of yin and yang moving in harmony, not in mutual cancellation or conflict. That is an ideal to which I aspire."
