I know my idea of beauty isn't what most people's is, and the fact that I'm getting the opportunity to show my beauty and work with incredible photographers that actually take me out of my comfort zone and allow me to see myself through their work in a different way - it's a real honor.

I took more hell for being fat than I did for being an absolute raging drug addict. I will never understand that.

I guess I have friends around me but when you're paying them can they ever really be true friends?

I've learned that all you can be in this world is you. No matter how much you mess with yourself, with surgery or you know, clothes or cut your hair differently or how much you wish and pray and dream that you're gonna wake up as someone else, it's never gonna happen. You have one life and one opportunity, and all you can be is the best you.

I say find one true friend to help you get through the tough times.

My brother is the one that gives me the strength - if he's not strong, I'm not.
