I consider myself true, which, I know, some people look at as radical, but I enjoy the normalcies of life. I’m not out there trying to transform things, but somehow, by being easy to talk to, and easy to look at, and on a mainstream TV show, I think that I’m helping the public’s opinions about transgendered people to change, slowly.

In the first couple of years when you’re transitioning you don’t really fit into any gender, because you’re changing over. You have to start getting electrolysis before you even start your therapy. But I think all the weird looks help to give you conviction in who you really are. Candis Cayne Read Quote
I knew I could never be an actor as a man. It just doesn’t work, you know? And so when I was doing drag, I realized I could do that kind of stuff, and then when I was transitioning, I kind of gave up on the whole thing because I didn’t think that this time would ever come, you know?

I love New York! You walk around, nobody notices you, you don’t notice anybody, you’re in your own little world. Candis Cayne Read Quote
I know a lot of people who transitioned and dropped out of society for two years. They don’t talk to anybody. They become hermits. They try to do everything alone. Candis Cayne Read Quote
It’s such a private thing. It’s a huge decision. It’s not like you wake up one day and say, ‘Oh, I’m going to change my sex – won’t that be fun?’ Candis Cayne Read Quote
There have been actresses who transitioned and nobody knew. But for me, with everybody knowing my history, it will be harder. I’m sure there are some great scripts calling for an ultra-glamorous woman. And I’m prepared to be ultra-glamorous. Candis Cayne Read Quote
I came out to my parents as gay, and then I realized, you know, four or five years later, that I wasn’t really happy, no relationships were working, and there was something missing in my life, and you know, I was doing drag, performing and stuff, and I realized through that arc that I was much happier doing that.
