I want to be the most eligible bachelor in New York City.

In this society, if a man is called a woman, that's the biggest insult he could get...Is that because women are considered something less?

I like to dress up but I'm not so concerned with looking very sexy, it's really more the art of dressing.

When I'm sitting in a casting room in Paris, I'm not the thinnest model. Sometimes I'm not the most flat-chested, either.

As a kid, you get to the stage where you realise the gender barriers that exist in society and what you're supposed to do and not supposed to do.

All women have a complicated relationship to beauty, but as a transgender woman it's a bit more complicated. There's a lot of pressure to appear feminine. When I was younger, I was most insecure about my size, my angular features, my feet, my hands . At the end of the day, it's about being comfortable in your own skin, and being able to walk down the street and not have people question your gender - and, for me, being perceived as a woman.

I'm not a big fan of identity politics and sort of picking one thing and defining yourself with it.
