"It happens daily. Sometimes I don’t feel inspired very much. The world that I’m in, that we’re all in, can be very fickle, very superficial, and quite selfish. So it is natural to lose inspiration sometimes. I go on my Facebook messages and my Instagram messages, and I see people in the LGBT community who find my career and my story inspiring. It has helped them come out to their parents, own their truth on the playground, or keep strong in the face of bullying. [There are also] people who aren’t even in the LGBT community — middle-aged moms! — who find my story very interesting and are inspired by it. It’s a compliment. It's nice when you can build bridges between communities. And it inspires people from all different walks of life. At the end of the day, I am a human being and this is a human experience like anything else. I can learn from you and you can learn from me."
