“I’m not worried about what’s in fashion, what’s not in fashion, what are the colors of the season. I go with my gut instinct because every time I haven’t it’s been a mistake.”

I love fashion, and that’s how I express myself.

I dress sexily – but not in an obvious way. Sexy in a virginal way.

Some people aren’t satisfied that I’m a gay man in a woman’s body and swear that I’m secretly a real boy.

You’ve got to trust people. And because I am a control freak, sometimes that’s difficult for me, because I want to micro-manage absolutely everything. I can’t hand over. But I’m trying to do that more.

I believe in creative visualization.

I’m not a supermodel. I make the best of what I’ve got.

When I dress in a certain way and do my hair and makeup in a certain way, it’s not to get attention. I’m not a supermodel. I make the best of what I’ve got. I work out to look the best that I can.

I’m still me even after all that’s happened.

I read once that elegance is a privilege of age. I thought, that’s so true. You get more comfortable with yourself as you get older.

I was an okay singer. I was an okay dancer. But acting? Never could do it.

I consider all of my pieces to be investment pieces. A dress shouldn’t be worn for one season – you should be able to wear it year after year.

I like a man who can be a real friend, has a good sense of humor, a good pair of shoes and a healthy gold card.

I want my kids to have a good work ethic. I believe you can achieve anything if you work hard enough to get it.

I become quite obsessive when I get into something.

What do you wear on a running machine? I can’t bring myself to wear flat shoes.

I was never a natural. I got there in the end because I did believe that if you work hard enough, then you can achieve a lot.

I really like to look like a history book. I can look the 1940s, I can look 1970s hippie-chic, or sometimes I’ll pull that ’80s Brooklyn hip-hop kid with the door-knocker earrings.

I wouldn’t have turned out the way I was if I didn’t have all those old-fashioned values to rebel against.

I don’t want to pierce anything. I think it’s outdated. Belly rings and all are, like, old.

I know the guac is extra.

I like how powerful fashion makes me feel. I live for that grungy-prissy juxtaposition that Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, and Drew Barrymore wore in the ’90s.

I’m heavily influenced by the Nineties – I love juxtaposing a slip dress with trainers and a vintage leather jacket.

A classic with a twist.

Slow and steady said “what race?” Slow and steady, one with grace.
