Some people say I appeared on the Phil Donahue show to tell 'my' sex change story but I've never appeared on his show for any reason... not even as a member of the studio audience.

I look most like myself... when I'm wearing my black, nerdy engineering glasses.

I'm proud to be from Philadelphia.

I, Lesley, I like looking nice. I like doing my hair and wearing makeup and wearing nice clothes. But I don't care what my characters look like.

If you saw me every day, you would actually think I am wearing the exact same gray suit.

Of course, people told me, 'Mikey, you will never be an actor. You don't have the look. You're ugly.'

People say I look like my father. My son is very much like him.

But I don't really like to discuss Phil anymore.

I'm never going to look like a Nordic model, so I play with what I've got. Instead of going gray, I dye my hair bright colors; I have bad vision, so I wear sparkly glasses. I embrace that I look like a crazy lady.

Famous people come up to me, but I don't know who they are because my sight is so bad. It's always at the pool of the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills when I don't have my lenses in and my glasses are in my room.
