“I was never a boy. I always was a girl in my heart, and although I was...” — Jazz Jennings Quote

“I was never a boy. I always was a girl in my heart, and although I was presented as a boy to the public, inside I was feminine. It was OK to be that because that's just who I was, and I can't change that. I was born that way.”

“I define myself.”

“As I got older, I learned about how some people treated their transgender children, and I was shocked. I couldn't understand how someone would leave their child and throw them on the street. I was always taught you give your kid unconditional love and if you don't, something's wrong with you, for real.”

“When I came to America, there were two kinds of women: women who looked serious and who didn't wear color and print, and women who looked girly and feminine and like second wives.”

“I feel that I'm sort of playing me but more feminine, and to me more feminine means smarter.”

“Maybe it's the feminine side of me, but I like that AM radio pop.”
