I wouldn't change myself at all. Being transgender makes me who I am: a strong person, a confident person. Being transgender gives me my personality.

Being negative only makes a difficult journey more difficult. You may be given a cactus, but you don't have to sit on it.

Joyce Meyer

I think there is a big and significant difference between being a leader and being a manager-leaders lead from the heart. You have to be analytical and flexible. Flexibility is one of the key ingredients to being successful. If you feel like it's difficult to change, you will probably have a harder time succeeding.

Andrea Jung

As a young child, being different is isolating, and as a teenager it's humiliating. I wish I had been able to stand out with more confidence when I was a child, and especially when I was a teenager. I was different, but it wasn't always a conscious choice, and it often made me miserable. But I'm all grown up now, and so are you. Today, difference is your strength, your power, and your trademark. It's your signature. It can still be difficult to be different--sometimes even harder than it used to be. Even so, it's time to embrace being yourself. It's time to be authentic.

Bethenny Frankel

I think I'm better at playing difficult than I am at being normal. And to me that's something I'm working on now. I'm not really that difficult or complex a person, so it's interesting to me that it's just so much harder for me to play an everygirl.

Christina Ricci

I loved being in my own head so much, it was getting harder and harder being with other people.

Marian Keyes

It would be weird enough just being in a band trying to date. It makes it harder being a parent. And it makes it really interesting when you're trans.

Laura Jane Grace

I do think that the role of the Internet, and the way it's bringing everything into the home, has made a parent's job much more difficult. And it's harder to know what to do and how to do it. It's much, much harder.

William J. Clinton

I have to think about being transgender so much that it's kind of the most boring thing in the world to me.

Patti Harrison

I think kids in general are much more capable of understanding the idea of being transgender than adults.

Jill Soloway

I think any teenager, any single parent household teenager growing up in New York City, will probably go through tumultuous years. I definitely did. It all sort of righted itself once I definitively got on the path of being a musician or, like, following that directly.

El-P

We consider the animals to be lower, and to me, that makes no sense at all. If you look at a tree or a mushroom or a squirrel, it's perfectly in tune with itself. It has no problem being exactly what it is, and it does what it's meant to do without any complaints or problems. Because we create all these problems in being, we think we're somehow higher than the animals. But it's we humans who have a difficult time even caring for our children, or anything.

Jeff Mangum

Everyone's journey to coming out as transgender is different. For me, I've know that I'm transgender my entire life.

Sarah McBride

YA, I feel, is so accurate to what it is like be a teenager and the realities of being a teenager and being in love.

Lana Condor

Being transgender, like being gay, tall, short, white, black, male, or female, is another part of the human condition that makes each individual unique, and something over which we have no control. We are who we are in the deepest recesses of our minds, hearts and identities.
