I've always been passionate about fashion.

When you're at the beginning of your career, there are a lot of, I don't care about this, jobs that you take because it's about building your resume and building connections. There are so many factors that don't have anything to do with choosing for the material.

I had something nobody else could do - I sang in a way that separated me - and, when you're trying to get noticed, you play your trump card.

I want to keep changing the world. It's possible. The black gay lead is ready. It's time.
