EDDIE IZZARD TALKS ABOUT WALKING IN HEELS AND FANCYING WOMEN

He's one of the stand up comics of his generation and a fantastic actor too. And Eddie had lots to say toAndrea, Linda, Kaye and Nadia...

'I have girl genetics and boy genetics, I feel they are fun and sexy,' Eddie said. 'I came out 32 years ago [as trans]. And women have total clothing rights and I have total clothing rights. I'm not wearing women's clothes - I'm wearing clothes'

'I'm just being me. Sexuality is confusing. I just thought it was better to talk about it. 1985 I came out, it wasn't cool then.

'I'm a wannabe lesbian. I've fancied women always, I fancied girls, but I also sort of wanted to be one. I also got boy genetics. I have both. I wanted to be special forces as a kid. I've performed in four languages, run marathons and come out.'
