“If I set my mind to something I do it. My biggest wish for all of us is that we are happy, successful, and that we stay true to ourselves.”

I’m very realistic. I know my boundaries – I know what I’m good at and what I’m not good at.

I can live with my own mistakes. I can’t live with anybody else’s.

Wearing short skirts while dancing to a manic routine without showing your knickers or looking indecent is a talent, as far as I’m concerned.

Fame is not like a jacket. You can’t put it on and then take it off.

I’m not shy about asking the customer, because I want to talk about who she is and what she wants from me.

If in doubt, anything looks good with a white shirt.

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.

To my younger self, I would say not to be so hard on yourself. I think that you are your biggest critic.

Whatever you are thinking, think bigger.

The biggest misconception about work is that you need to spend the majority of your time doing it.

The fishing is best where the fewest go. There is just less competition for bigger goals.

Believe that you are bigger than your difficulties, for you are, indeed.

Our biggest enemy is our own self-doubt. We really can achieve extraordinary things in our lives. But we sabotage our greatness because of our fear

It’s more important to do big things well than to do small things perfectly.

Happiness is really just about four things: perceived control, perceived progress, connectedness (number and depth of your relationships), and vision/meaning (being part of something bigger than yourself).
