"I'm a walking, talking piece of art. I'm a living sculpture. I'm a performance artist."

"I'm not afraid to be vulnerable. I think that's what makes me strong."

"I would rather be fat than shallow."

"I want to be a voice for the voiceless. I want to be a champion for the underdog. I want to be a hero for the marginalized."

"I believe in the power of art to transform. I believe in the power of art to heal. I believe in the power of art to inspire."
