Australia was a very different world and culture from the one I left in Europe. Life was much more spread out. People drove everywhere. They built higher fences. Neighbours didn't interact so much. ”

If you live your life on your own terms, you might find that people actually give you more respect. ”

My whole life is controversy. What can I do? I'm like Britney Spears! ”

I think, at the end of the day, you have to live a truthful life and be true to yourself. You have one life, and everything has to fall into place around that. ”

I read 'The Original Beauty Bible' when I was 16, and it changed my life. ”

When I was little, the idea of waking up as a girl was like a fairytale. I had this idea that I'd meet a witch who would transform me. From the moment I found out that it was actually possible, I went to bed each night feeling that when it happens, it will be the best day of my life. And it was! ”

I think a life of a human being is not something you can explain in a few interview questions. The stuff you do in the media is sometimes a great reflection and sometimes not a great reflection of who you are as a person. ”

I remember as a kid, my mom had to trade canned food to buy my brother and me chocolate because we were living in Serbia at the time, and there were sanctions. If I catch myself complaining about going to a red carpet event, I say, 'Shut up.' ”

I achieved my personal dream and completed my transition to be able to live life as a woman. ”

I was born a girl; it just took me a little while to become one fully. ”
