“'Some Like It Hot' is the first film that came to my mind; it brings me back to my childhood. In England, it was often on TV, and my sister and I used to recite the dialogues and sing the songs. It was a film that was ahead of its time. Today, we talk about gay rights and gender issues, but this film is from 1959, and you see Jack Lemmon dressed as a woman, even getting engaged to a man! It’s a film that has stayed with me my whole life, and growing up as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, you realize how open it is to so many interpretations. It’s the kind of film you could feel was yours in different ways.”
