You have to understand that everybody has their own struggles, regardless of whether or not you can see it. Just surround yourself with the people who love you, and know that you're not alone.

I used to be smaller than I am now, and it didn't make my life any easier. It's not really about your body. It's about what's going on inside, in your head and your heart.

Growing up, I looked to people who had the same issues as me and were still living great lives.

I wanted to be a teacher, but I was a lousy student, one of the slowest readers. It was a tremendous struggle. But I'm lucky I had some teachers who saw something in me.

I don't like to get in front of people.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.
