My way was not to be the petite, gorgeous, little cheerleader. My way of getting by was making people laugh.

I'm a strong person, but I'd never resort to violence.

May I say, if you were suddenly put into a woman's body, wouldn't you be slightly interested in your breasts, and why people look at certain parts of you, and why certain parts move like they do?

My fantasy life made me survivor. One day I knew that me, this skinny, ugly girl who was only invited to slumber parties when they were forced to - someday I knew I would be someone. That was my driving goal. It wasn't to be famous. I didn't want furs and signing autographs, I didn't care about any of that. I wanted to be someone other than myself.

I don't consider myself a goody-goody, but I like to be perceived as classy.

I literally felt like a freak, which is another aspect of the role of Sally that I relate to: total outsider.

And to be different is great. You don't want to be the same.
