Eddie Izzard - Tumblr Posts
thank you!
yeah, I have a little hyperfixation on these two at the moment, but I draw different things… (well, mostly just… guys and weird stuff?)

David Green: Can I ask you something that we don't usually ask our guests at Morning Edition, uhm, even when they're in another office like you, you're in our New York bureau and I'm in Washington. I can't see you, but can you tell me what you're wearing today for the interview?
Eddie Izzard: Uh, mainly clothes.
David Green: That's - that's good.
Eddie Izzard: You're trying to go down this transvestite line, but you wouldn't ask Hilary Clinton that so that's where I'm going to keep it. I'm just wearing clothes, whether any of it's supposed to be men's clothes or women's clothes, I don't agree with that. I think the United Nations should have something in there that says you can wear whatever the hell you want to.
David Green: That's fair enough. Fair enough, but can I ask in general, you've been wearing less clothing that has you looking like a woman or sort of traditional suits and I wonder what the change has been.
Eddie Izzard: No, I'm just tactical. If I'm trying to get roles, producers have got to imagine me in these roles. So if I'm constantly wearing make up, that wouldn't work. Also, there's a big slice of boy genetics going on in me plus the extra girly genetics and it has nothing to do with the comedy. My comedy is my comedy. My drama is my drama. I happen to be a transvestite. I happen to be a straight transvestite. I want it to get boring.
David Green: You want it to get boring? What do you mean?
Eddie Izzard: Well, you know, if you think about it, gay and lesbian has now got more boring than it was back in the 50s and forever history before that. So if you come in and say, "Hi, I'm a plumber. I happen to be gay." "Okay, well, you any good at plumbing?" "Yeah, pretty good at plumbing." "Fine, I don't really care. The plumbing was the main thing I had you for." And that's what it's got to get to. That's what transgender's got to get to. We're slightly behind the curve on getting boring.
Yeah, let's make it boring enough that interviewers won't ask questions that sound like the lead up to phone sex to someone they have on to talk about their new comedy tour
