Quotes

For me, at the end of the day, I want to be judged for my work, not for what I've been through and past experiences, necessarily.

I'm definitely focusing all of my attention on acting. Modeling comes up by default, and I love it - of course I think that it's great - but I'm definitely focusing all of my attention on acting.

I think what people need to realize is that, with trans people, we're like everybody else. No group of people are all the same. All women are not the same, all men are not the same, all children are not the same.

I'll never forget it; I was 23 or 24. I remember a very specific moment when we were literally in the middle of having sex and he [a magazine writer] asked me if I was in love with him. I had just broken up with him [a photographer] shortly before, and I was like, 'Why are you asking me that right now?' And he said he knew that I liked him a lot, and that we got along really well, and he thought I was falling in love with him. So I said to him, 'Are you in love with me?' And his response was, 'I can't be in love with you.' And I literally got up and put my clothes on and left and never spoke to him again. It was in that moment that I learned that I would never put myself in a situation, or that I would try incredibly hard to avoid situations where-because I thought that was really incredibly shitty for someone to say something like that: 'Oh, I can't be in love with you.' Why? Because I'm different, because I'm a freak? Because your parents wouldn't like it, because your friends wouldn't like it? It hurt a lot. It sucked.

'Different' is such a good word. For me, ever since I was little, I always felt that something was off. And I just didn't have the resources to - I just didn't know what it was.
