I try to do everything to say, 'OK, will my mother like this? Will she be pleased? Will she be proud of that? How do I know she's happy and she's smiling down at me from heaven?' And that's what I try to go by and walk by.

Dreams do come true. If anyone's proof of that, it's me.

I feel like I've lived about three or four different lives.

My grandmother always taught me, 'If you don't have a home, family, and church, you don't have anything.

I don't believe in doing things just to do them.

I try to dress a little casual before my photo-shoots. I can be comfortable before I go into my... transition.

If you're asking yourself why I have this success and you don't, don't be angry with me-stop and ask yourself what your issues are that are holding you back.
