A lot of people, when they look at the whole trans thing, they think,'Oh, you're transgender, and in the fashion industry, which is very pro-LGBT, so you don't have any problems because it's a progressive place.' But that's not the reality.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Fearing
- |

- Gay
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It used to be so important to choose what you were. Gay or straight. Male or female. I think the new generation is more fluid.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've given up trying to convince the world about the authenticity of my femininity.
- Gender
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To demand that people find their assigned narrow corridors of culture or ethnicity or gender, expecting people to forevermore stay in that lane, is to limit our human potential. It's oppressive.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The fact that my body is presented as an unrealistic ideal of 'beauty' to the world doesn't stop me - or most other models - from feeling unsure about ourselves.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Makeup contracts are the Oscars of the modeling world.
- Fashion
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There are so many male models who are working in high fashion, and they are broke. It's good to be a woman.
- Dream

Other women don't go around saying, 'Wow, I'm female.' They have room in their lives for other things. That's my goal. One day, I would like to be just another girl.
- Girl
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The way I need to look, it's a very personal thing. When I started experimenting, it was to make myself feel happy, to look in the mirror and be satisfied. I never did drag or anything like that. It was always that I wanted to be pretty, to look beautiful, as a girl would want to.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's not like, 'Okay, today I want to look like a man, or today I want to look like a woman.' I want to look like me. It just so happens that some of the things I like are feminine.

I love costume jewelry, the stuff Givenchy/Riccardo Tisci do, and old school rock n' roll jewelry, too.
- City
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The first time I came to New York - and the first time I saw the movie 'Paris Is Burning' - I learned about the homeless LGBT culture in New York City that goes back to the '80s. I found that very interesting, and it's definitely something that I care about.
- Parents
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was lucky to grow up in a family where your parents loved you no matter what you were or what you came out as, and a lot of kids don't have that ride.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think a life of a human being is not something you can explain in a few interview questions. The stuff you do in the media is sometimes a great reflection and sometimes not a great reflection of who you are as a person.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Fashion is quite inclusive and good at embracing different things and different forms of beauty. It's a very liberal industry. You can be yourself.
