I identify with Sad Girls.

Ariel is the most boring Disney princess.

I'm teaching myself how to screenplay write.

I love 'Heathers.' I love 'Spring Breakers.'

I get a facial maybe a couple of times a year.

Expectations are kind of lethal for art, I think.

I'm a much better actor as a girl than I was as a guy.

I was really into emo and scene culture in middle school.

My desire to be an actor or a model precedes my identity.

I feel like you can't just have fashion for fashion's sake.

Brands like RMS Beauty and Kat Burki are my skincare heroes.

I think that often my work is obscured by my gender identity.

Whatever surgery someone wants to get is none of your business.

Being a woman means that my male privilege seeped out of my body.

I was never good at being a boy, but I was always a good student.

Trans folks are going to rise up for their moments and their money!

I would say I'm waiting for, I guess, designers to open up their vision.

I identify with anyone who logged online in elementary school and never logged off.

What's infuriating is when cis people think celebrating me is celebrating transness.

I search my name on Tumblr more than I Google myself, and I Google myself every day.

Leaving the house in a pair of flip-flops in Manhattan is disgusting to me, no shade.

I live in a little studio apartment, so I try to keep the space super clean at all times.

Sexuality is who you want to be with. Gender identity is who you want to be in the world.

If we didn't desensitize ourselves in some way, every day would feel like its own tragedy.

If anyone says that American socialism isn't possible, point them toward the bowling shoe.

My first boyfriend was a fashion designer. He was a junior in high school, I was a freshman.

When you're making an independent film, there is no guarantee that anyone is going to see it, ever.

If you don't know somebody, whether you're inquiring into their sex or their gender, it's invasive.

My identity will always inform my experience and shape my perception. But I am an unremarkable person.

I like to let my skin breathe, I don't like to stress it out. I don't like to put it through very much.

I'm very conscious and weary of the hype economy and the way people build things up just to tear them down.

I like shows for atmosphere. I don't know, I think a plot-driven show is so boring and masc4masc and gross.

I'm really into the way sound works in film, and I did a little bit of sound design for theater in college.

What we really need to look at is gender fluidity and the idea that gender can be customised however you want.

When I saw that Laverne Cox was on the cover of 'Time' magazine, I totally lost it. It was a coup for the girls!

I think the skin is the most important part of a strong makeup look, and if you take care of that, the rest will follow.

I think people get stuck in a cycle with social media sometimes and don't know how to make adjustments that are personal.

Visibility is not, in itself, always a good thing, but when it is in the hands of those who need positive visibility, it can be.

A pink sneaker is like walking down the street at five miles per hour with a Starbucks in your hand. Nobody is getting in your way.

I couldn't remember when I'd stopped willing to be trans and started wanting to be trans. If there were a difference, I'd forgotten it.

Whether you're a woman, a transwoman, a person of color, I feel like Instagram is really important for the creation and framing of the self.

Sometimes it feels like people can't wrap their head around the notion that an 'androgynous' trans woman with shorter hair could be beautiful.

It's time for the aesthetics of upwardly mobile feminist respectability to make room for the aesthetics of survival, particularly trans survival.

When I don't wear makeup, it's not because I'm lazy, but it's me making this radical bid for the feminization of my body and being confident in that.

Being a woman is an option, being trans is an option, and they're options that appeal to me. We need to listen to people - not labels, not semantics.

I'm grateful to be in school developing my practice as an actor. In that process, it's difficult to say that you've definitively 'learned' something.

We consume luxury. We participate in the image industry in a meaningful way, and we have a look and a background that should be taken on its own terms.

When it comes to modeling, I always feel like my body is a myth or a story that is told by other people, and no one knows what my body really looks like.

When you think of H&M, you're thinking of something that's accessible to a broad range of people, perhaps far broader than most of these beautiful shows.

I can kind of fit the women's and the men's samples in a very similar way, just because of where my body is in my life, and I feel like it's modern to mix.
