“When we say 'trans is beautiful' or 'being trans is the best,' that is...” — Hari Nef Quote

“When we say 'trans is beautiful' or 'being trans is the best,' that is a truth we created for ourselves that's clearly not true in every signal we get from the world around us.”

“Fashion has always captivated me because, like I said, it has the potential to create narratives about what's beautiful, aspirational, chic, masculine, feminine, glamorous, etc. Generally, this power is dispatched in useless ways.”

“If I get too glam and polished and pretty, people are like, 'Hari, why aren't you speaking up about issues?' And if I start speaking up about issues, people are like, 'Why can't you just be an actress?'”

“The first thing successful people do is view failure as a positive signal to success.”

“I have been a funny kid growing up but every one thought I was a serious person. I think it has to do with the choice of my films such as 'Zakhm,' 'Kalyug' and 'Traffic Signal.'”

“I feel weird sometimes when I don't read for a few days. Because I feel like, Oh, that's a signal I don't have the balance in my life I should have.”
