“When I realised I was transgender I was so afraid of what my transitio...” — Chaz Bono Quote

“When I realised I was transgender I was so afraid of what my transition would do to everyone else in my life and how they would react to it and would I be rejected?”

“I don't have the luxury of doing things privately.”

“I've waited my whole life to be able to have body hair - but I never thought I'd have back hair. But what are you going to do, right?”

“That's what happens in Hollywood. People are like, 'I want to hate you, because everyone else seems to love you.' But the reality is this: I'm a simple person who's not interested in attention and who just wants to go about her business.”

“Most people have the opportunity of a lifetime flash right in front of them, and they fail to see it. A year later, they find out about it, after everyone else got rich.”

“I always knew who I was, but everyone else wanted to me to be their 'idea' of the 'right' artist. At times, I even believed them.”
