Never say no to anything, whatever the universe brings me. I've always lived by that.
I wanted to represent minorities in the respect of people who had been bullied in school or people who were gay or lesbian or trans or people who aren't blonde haired and blue-eyed. I have short hair, and I am covered in tattoos. I like showing people that it's within their rights to be different.
I started off as an Australian model. I had so many knockbacks, having short hair and being rejected, and I always thought: I'm never gonna get to where I want to get unless I start looking more feminine.
I started making my own short films as a way of being able to give myself something to do and to study my craft.
Fashion is such a weird thing. Growing up, I just made do with whatever I had access to - a lot of hand-me-downs and thrift store shopping.
Between 'Orange' with Laverne, the show 'Transparent,' and Caitlyn Jenner, obviously we're in the middle of something enormous - a transgender movement. I'm just proud to be alive during this massive shift in the world.
I used to pray to God that I wouldn't get breasts. Then in my teens, I tried to be quite feminine.
As a little kid, I was convinced that I was a guy.
Aussies are really laid back, and so are Californians.
Acting is my life. It's what I live and breathe.
I got to host a radio show. I got a clothing range. I was the face of fashion week. I got to do a whole television show with kids.
One thing I noticed when I moved to America, people don't really know about me, so a lot of them question why I look like a boy or dress like a boy, or why I didn't have longer hair, or what's with the tattoos.
I have a lot of characteristics that would normally be present in a guy and then less that would be present in a woman.
I feel the most confident in whatever I'm feeling at that time. Sometimes it's leather pants, a leather jacket, and a band tee, and it's motorcycle-chic. Then there are times that it's skinny jeans, a tank top, and a denim jacket. It's whatever I'm feeling that day.
