Ellen Page

To be in a position, at my age, where I am financially independent, I can help develop things, I can promote stuff that I believe in, I can say no a lot and spend time writing - that is a gift.

I wish I was a teenager in the 1970s.

When we're growing up there are all sorts of people telling us what to do when really what we need is space to work out who to be.

You know, I auditioned for 'Titanic.' Sometimes I muse on what would have happened. That would have been such a different life.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

Shaft was a pop culture figure along t he lines of, I guess, Dirty Harry - except that he wasn't as much of a racist. So yeah, I was always a fan.
