“I had always been a really peculiar child. My mom would tell you I grew up roughing it with the boys and playing with action figures and toy cars and stuff, but I also had an Easy Bake Oven... I find it amazing that in a really weird way, people are mad that they can't figure out my gender.”

“I always say I never felt 'latched' to a gender. I just kind of always felt like myself, and I never felt like I had to do certain things or be a certain way to fit into a certain mold.”

“I want people to listen to my music and everyone to feel included, and I think it's kind of working because all my audiences are always so colorful.”

“The sugar tax is fine. I agree with that. But I think it probably doesn't go too far. But then, I work on 'The Great British Bake Off.' We make cakes with sugar and butter. I can't be too critical. It is like anything in life: it is all about moderation.”

“When I bake, I give it to people because when I'm full-time training, I have to really watch what I eat.”

“I've always watched 'Bake Off' but never imagined hosting it.”
