“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.”

“We did a whole fraternity house. We made them over.”

“I love music. I love going out dancing.”

“...you don't have to be perfect to be pretty”

“It's really important to share the idea that being different might feel like a problem at the time, but ultimately diversity is a strength.”

“Sometimes the truth feels good.”

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

“Challenge yourself, jump off the deep end and learn to swim.”

“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.”

“It's incredibly hard to program a network from scratch for 24 hours.”
