Nobody has milked one performance better than me - and I'm damned proud of it.
The first one of the girls I ever told was Kimberly.
Bruce lives a lie. She is not a lie. I can't do it anymore.
We put so much pressure on kids to excel in school at such a young age.
The truth is everybody does it from time to time. People dial telephone numbers and they get a wrong number only to find that they've read the last two digits backwards. Everybody does it, but dyslexics have this tendency to a higher degree.
I didn't only have a perceptual problem, I was also so nervous and so upset. The process just didn't work. I lost enthusiasm for school and I flunked second grade. The teachers said I was lazy.
I still have nightmares about taking tests.
Realize that the reason most people fail isn't because of the competition but because of the limits they place upon themselves, allowing defeat to take over. Take responsibility for your destiny. You can come up with a performance, if you can reach down and dig deep enough into your competitive soul. You can overcome tremendous obstacles.
I'm so happy after such a long struggle to be living my true self.
I'm the type of guy who fails and fails and fails, and then, as if failure has become sick of him, succeeds.
When you accept yourself you are free from the need for others to accept you.
Trans people deserve something vital: They deserve your respect. If you want to call me names, make jokes, doubt my intentions, go ahead, because the reality is, I can take it. But for the thousands of kids out there, coming to terms with being true to who they are, they shouldn't have to take it.
It's not just about me. It's about all of us accepting one another. We're all different. It's not a bad thing. It's a good thing.
