Becoming Madonna

 It was the way he made you proud of yourself. I had a whole new sense of myself and I fell in love with the way he treated me, and the way he saw me, the way he make me feel. At school I felt like such an outsider, like such a misfit, such a weirdo. I kept seeing myself through macho heterossexual eyes and I was really down on myself. I was too busy being repressed. When Christopher (Flynn) introduced me to this life I suddenly thought "that's not the only way I have to be".
