Zoey Tur Quotes

I came out to be on television as a person, as a woman. And this can be a great thing for my community.

I’m so much more at ease now than when I was flying as Bob. Then, I was OCD about everything, always checking and looking for things. But flying as a female is effortless. I’m still checking traffic, instruments, and the radios, but it’s easier to multitask, and flying is fun.

Instead of doing what everybody else does and sue the city of Los Angeles, I decided I was going to run for mayor.

I know the way this city works. We have one of the most corrupt cities in the country. The reason it’s so corrupt is because everybody thinks it’s honest, and it’s not. You know the truth when you go to Chicago. The difference here in Los Angeles is you believe it’s honest – and that’s dangerous.

If what the transgender movement seeks is acceptance, association with the Kardashian circus is the last thing it needs.

When you’re living a lie, the scariest thing is to be alone with your thoughts.

I know so much about Los Angeles. I grew up here, I was born here, I loved it, and I reported on it.

That’s violence, terrible violence, to tell a woman to sit down and shut up.

Trying to erase 53 years of being a macho aggressive guy to trying to be a woman, and this is greatest challenge of my life.

I tell the truth. That’s my training as a reporter.
