#Quote
1When Queer Eye hit, the church told my mom they were praying for me. She said, God loves him too. And I support him 100 percent.
2I've been looking forward to doing an album, but it's really sad to see how many doors have been closed because of the gay thing. I thought it was about the music.
3I like bringing smiles to people's faces.
4I was raised thinking I'd burn in hell for being gay, but I didn't have a choice. It's just who I am.
5I was the star of the choir.
6I'm more of a culture hummingbird.
7I've done the gay, over-the-top guy. I want to jump into another show where I wear pants for the majority of the time.
8The number of Latino roles is very limited, and it's unfortunate there isn't more color-blind casting.
9My mother thought me being gay was a death sentence.
10Not everyone is nice and good to work with or grateful for the experience.
11It's interesting to see how we are all uniquely different.
12Just because you are out doesn't make you the poster boy for the gay community.
13My mom doesn't get the whole gay thing, but she loves me.
14All things just keep getting better.
15At the beginning of each year, we have conceptual meetings. How are we going to challenge ourselves this year? So we suggested a transsexual or transgender. And to be honest, I am shocked they let us do it.
16I have no apologies.
17Our show is about starting over.
18As the universe accepted our show, more people began to accept me.
19I had said to some pastor that I was having thoughts, and the church turned on me. They went to my mom and said, So sorry about your son.
20I consider myself gay because at the end of the night, that's who I want to cuddle with. But when I go out, I go to straight clubs.
21I have to stay humble. I'm just a normal human with a job that is televised.
22I know I'm on a small cable reality show. I'm realistic where I stand in the scheme of things.
23We all get along. We're not best friends. Carson and I are the only ones not partnered, and the other guys are about 10 years older than I am. We're like family, and we all look out for each other."-On his relationship with the rest of the Fab Five
