If you live your life only following the path you think is approved or acceptable, or the one you think is expected of you, you’ll be making a huge mistake. Not a single successful person… has ever done great things because they played it safe. You’ve got to be true to yourself.

I hoped I could make people smile and laugh and have a good time.

I was into Barbie and designer jeans.

I love fashion, but it's always been my job, whereas horseriding is my hobby.

People are much deeper than stereotypes. That's the first place our minds go. Then you get to know them and you hear their stories, and you say, 'I'd have never guessed.

When I was growing up, I was obviously gay, and I got heckled every day of my life. The only way I knew how to survive was to make people laugh. If I could make them laugh, I wouldn't get hung in a locker for two hours. That's a blessing.

Compare yourself to yourself and say, 'How can I be better? How can I be the real me?'
