Having money has given me a certain freedom, but being in the public eye has taken away a lot.

Most people don't understand that being in the public eye is emotionally exhausting. It takes a lot out of you.

It's stupid to say that I don't like being in the public eye, but I don't like doing stuff that's not needed.

I disappear from the public eye and get rediscovered quite often.

My individual, psychological descent coincided, ironically, with my ascent into the public eye.

For me, it was never a question of whether or not I was transgender. It was a question of what I'd be able to handle transitioning and having to do it in the public eye. One of the issues that was hard for me to overcome was the fear of that.
