Ruby Rose has never been one to shy away from talking openly about sexuality—and her recent interview with Galore is no exception.

“When people say to me that I turned them gay, I just laugh because that’s not really even a possibility,” she said. “It sounds like I did something against their will in the middle of the night, as if I crept into their brain and pushed the gay button, then did an evil laugh and left them to fend for themselves—newly gay and alone in the world.

At the end of the day, the Orange is the New Black actress says she doesn’t care about labels. “I’m one of those people who feels everybody is somewhere on the spectrum,” she said. “I don’t think it needs to be labeled. Love is about the person.”
