| 1 | When 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. |
| 2 | I'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. |
| 3 | I like bringing smiles to people's faces. |
| 4 | I was raised thinking I'd burn in hell for being gay, but I didn't have a choice. It's just who I am. |
| 5 | I was the star of the choir. |
| 6 | I'm more of a culture hummingbird. |
| 7 | I'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. |
| 8 | The number of Latino roles is very limited, and it's unfortunate there isn't more color-blind casting. |
| 9 | My mother thought me being gay was a death sentence. |
| 10 | Not everyone is nice and good to work with or grateful for the experience. |
| 11 | It's interesting to see how we are all uniquely different. |
| 12 | Just because you are out doesn't make you the poster boy for the gay community. |
| 13 | My mom doesn't get the whole gay thing, but she loves me. |
| 14 | All things just keep getting better. |
| 15 | At 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. |
| 16 | I have no apologies. |
| 17 | Our show is about starting over. |
| 18 | As the universe accepted our show, more people began to accept me. |
| 19 | I 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. |
| 20 | I 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. |
| 21 | I have to stay humble. I'm just a normal human with a job that is televised. |
| 22 | I know I'm on a small cable reality show. I'm realistic where I stand in the scheme of things. |
| 23 | We 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 |
