I'm always skeptical about representations of trans people, especially when trans people are not making the work.

It is revolutionary for any trans person to choose to be seen and visible in a world that tells us we should not exist.

We are not what other people say we are. We are who we know ourselves to be, and we are what we love. That's okay.

If you have a problem with people living their lives and being authentically who they are, you really should go and do some soul-searching.

We are born as who we are, the gender thing is something that is imposed on you.

By doing the work to love ourselves more, I believe we will love each other better.

There are lessons in everything. The bad, the good. Our job is to listen, and to continue to learn, so that maybe we get better at this. Maybe get better at life.

When I was perceived as a black man I became a threat to public safety. When I was dressed as myself, it was my safety that was threatened.

I believe that when we love someone, we respect them, and we listen to them; we feel that their voice matters. And- we let them dictate the terms of who they are and what their story is.

Whether you're transgender or not, most of us get to a point in our lives where we can no longer lie to ourselves.

When a trans woman gets called a man, that is an act of violence.

There is no real ending. It’s just the place where you stop the story.

My light must shine, so that the darkness will disappear.

Anything that's signed by me on EBay is a forgery and not authentic.

As far as I’m concerned, this is the worst thing that’s happened since I found out why Magnus was banned from Peru.

Every one of the songs was based around picking an acoustic guitar. That was part of the concept from the beginning, that the tempos were going to go from slow to almost mid-tempo.

I auditioned for Jake in Progress, and I was nervous because I had a big crush on John Stamos. I was totally thrown off and couldnt remember my lines.

Appreciate what you have while you have it.

I want people to expect more from me because I expect more. If you don't set goals high, you're not trying.

Obstacles are merely a call to strengthen your resolve to achieve your worthwhile goals.

Valuing a business is part art and part science.
