On a personal level, my mom is my biggest inspiration. She's always been an idol for me. I used to dream about growing up and being like her.

Growing up, I was quite self-conscious about getting too tall, but then I realized, 'You know what? I can use it to my advantage. Big is beautiful.'

To all trans youth out there, I would like to say respect yourself and be proud of who you are.

I feel that for a lot of my career, I had success, I was adored, but I was also this alien creature. I want to show that I have the skill like any other female model, and I'm asking for the same equal treatment and equal respect as any other female model.

Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values.

When I launched the development of the GNU system, I explicitly said the purpose of developing this system is so we can use our computers and have freedom, thus if you use some other free system instead but you have freedom, then it's a success. It's not popularity for our code but it's success for our goal.

I was hoping I could become a success to give my mother and my father a better way of living.

That's the definition of 'success' for the modern Democrat Party. As many people dependent on government as possible is the objective.
