I wanted to step forward and be on TV and for people to see who I really was.

I never dreamed that they would ask me to do a TV show. I'm the most surprised person of all.

My first big one-person show was basically a combination of my family, me during puberty, embarrassing newspaper articles that were written about me in high school, my first modeling photos, and terrible things that people said about me on the Internet.

I got asked to do loads of TV series, all sorts of things that weren't me.

It's been real weird. It wasn't how I expected my life to turn out. Especially, mainly pertaining to the show. It never crossed my mind that one day I'm gonna be big and famous and have my own TV show, you know?

I got to host a radio show. I got a clothing range. I was the face of fashion week. I got to do a whole television show with kids.

If you look at my life before I went into television, the struggle I went through coming out would be surprising to most people, given how comfortable and how out I am being the only late-night gay talk-show host.

It's much more casual than it was, but my clothes and my ring attire - I thought up half of what I brought to the show.

I wanted to be in show business, and I was funny.

I stared at the television in shock, watching as my private life was revealed to the world.
