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.

I was into Barbie and designer jeans.

On our show, I've only reached out and touched about 55 guys. I think there's still about 40 million.

I think ultimately I make people happy: Whether I'm doing the stage show, giving somebody a makeover, or designing clothing, the end goal is to make people smile.

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

Show's going well. New season starting, we're on the road.
