“My favorite LGBT film is TIPPING THE VELVET. It’s a historical film about show biz, and I’m a sucker for those. (I must’ve seen Yankee Doodle Dandy over 3 dozen times.) But more than that, TIPPING THE VELVET is genuinely fun, sexy and full of good-hearted people who win out over the mean, nasty people. It’s a wonderful depiction of a full range of the butch/femme dynamic and since I’m seeing less and less of that in the queer world these days, it’s good to see it on film. I watch TIPPING THE VELVET any time I’m short on courage to go out in the world and be what I wanna be, and it always fixes me up.”
