I don't have the luxury of doing things privately.

Gender is between your ears and not between your legs.

I always wanted to shave. It is a very natural process. For my birthday I got a lot of shaving stuff.

When I realised I was transgender I was so afraid of what my transition would do to everyone else in my life and how they would react to it and would I be rejected?

I thought, transgender people are much worse off than I am. That's why they're willing to risk everything to be who they are. But the older I got, the harder it got to stay in my body.

Parents have to understand: if your kid isn't you, don't blame the kid.

I came out around 25 publicly.

I had felt uncomfortable as a woman my whole life.

I felt like one of the boys. My friends were boys. In school I related to boys.

A lot of parents never speak to their transgender kids again that's not the case in my family.

People who don't have gender dysphoria aren't going to catch it by watching me dance on television.

Love is the strongest bond. Nothing can break it, not even death.

We're having a little disagreement. What I want is a big church wedding with bridesmaids and flowers and a no-expense-spared reception and what he wants is to break off our engagement.

Science is organized common sense where many a beautiful theory was killed by an ugly fact.

I'm fascinated by how Hollywood has changed since I started. Today it's about immediate delivery. There's less risk and less art.

Women speak because they wish to speak, whereas a man speaks only when driven to speak by something outside himself like, for instance, he can't find any clean socks.

I've always wanted to be independent and answer for myself. That probably is the part of me I would class to be feminist. I'd like to have children; marriage I have a bit of an issue with.

I cannot see how a man of any large degree of humorous perception can ever be religious -- unless he purposely shut the eyes of his mind & keep them shut by force.

Desjardins was literally fuming. His tattered robes still smoked from battle. (Carter says I shouldn’t mention that his pink boxer shorts were showing, but they were!)

When you're happy for yourself, it fills you. When you're happy for someone else, it pours over.

You get what you think about, whether you want it or not. Commit to thinking about what you want, rather than how impossible or difficult that dream may seem.
