EJ JOHNSON

I've worked as an E! News correspondent covering New York Fashion Week and have appeared on several fashion shows and online sites.

I think that NYC naturally brings out a bolder personality in people.

Only in 2016 can a brother and sister have problems over the same man.

People are more up front about what they want. That's what I love about New York in general.

I play in men's and women's wear, and I kinda mix and things like that.

I've completely changed what I eat and how I view food. My friends and family eat really healthy and they've been encouraging me. I feel great!

I celebrate the things that make me different, and it's worked to my advantage.

I am very, very, very blessed to have the family that I do.

In high school, I listened to Lady Gaga and I was really obsessed with just being who you are and owning that experience - she was a really big inspiration in that aspect to me and my friends, who were young and growing up, and making our way through the city and the world.

So I'm definitely coming up in the entertainment world. Definitely a talk show down the line is my ultimate goal and you know, dabbling in fashion and entertainment.

I'm just very comfortable in my own skin. I like my body.

I don't know if I would describe myself as a little goth. But the all black is very New York.

We get only one life, and you need to just - give it. Give it your all.

I've always known that I wanted to do something in entertainment and fashion.

I certainly think it's important to build relationships with movers and shakers in the fashion industry.

I'm very happy with myself and I think - I always say that I think that if you feel like you're not in the right body, then by all means get to where you want to be.

No two days are ever the same, but usually I wake up and immediately check out what's happening online in the fashion world. Doing so inspires me to create and shape my own fashion trends.

I have a lot of personality and I'm funny.

All the people that are so quick to say that, like, because I wear womenswear sometimes, that means I'm transitioning. People are just so ignorant and dumb sometimes.

I really think it's important that you not listen to so many fads; you really need to find what works for you.

It's important to come out to yourself first and be comfortable with it. After that, I feel it's important to surround yourself with a group of friends who support you and love you for who you are.

I realize I'm not going to meet my man at a club, and that's where I used to troll for men.

I wear what I want to wear and I do what I want to do and I think everyone should do that.

I remember being, like, 4 and 5 and playing in my mom's closet. But also asking questions like 'Who's this?' and 'What's that?,' and my mom explaining to me, 'This is a Chanel and this is a Versace.'

I don't feel that I'm in the wrong body. I feel like this is the body I'm supposed to be in.
