"I don't think I'm particularly sexual, no more than anyone else, though I am very creative"
About this Quote
Then comes the pivot: "though I am very creative". It's a classic dodge and a tell. She relocates the public fascination from libido to labor, from what people project onto her to what she actually produces. Creativity becomes both alibi and counter-identity: if she's magnetic, it's because she's making things, not because she's performing availability. The word "though" does important work, implying the world keeps confusing creative energy with sexual energy - especially when the speaker is a woman whose roles, photoshoots, and red-carpet framing have been curated through a male gaze.
The context matters: Mitra came up in a late-'90s/2000s celebrity ecosystem that industrialized "sex symbol" as a career track and a cage. Her line reads like an attempt to reclaim complexity without sounding defensive. It's not puritanical, it's strategic: normalize desire, spotlight imagination, and quietly ask why "sexual" is the adjective people reach for first when the résumé includes craft.
