ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Im so sorry about your elimination.
I looked forward to seeing more of that face you made on the trampoline last week.
But, at the same time, I knew what I signed up for.

I think your look and your brand is a little bit above what the show is looking for.
Falling short probably disappoints me less than my fandom.
Regardless of what people interpret from my actions, I tried to put my best foot forward.
I was told and have been told online, Theres already a Ruby Rose; we dont need you.
I dont think we need just one androgynous, non-binary figure.
In fact, I think that almost speaks to a lack of understanding.
Why do you think people are so quick to label and misunderstand queer or non-binary people?
Do you put much weight on something like Rita Ora telling you she hated your video?
It doesnt seem like youre going to pursue a career as a backup dancer any time soon.
I actually wasnt that embarrassed by it.
I was surprised it did me in, to be honest.
I think people are misinterpreting my natural response to a high-pressure situation, which is to be more inward.
At no point did I not want to be there.
Its an opportunity that comes by once in a lifetime, and I was grateful for the opportunity.
Can we talk about that curiously symbolic bottom two, though?
You and Marissa?Shocker.
I saw that one coming.
I find that a little ridiculous.
Again, characters are characters on television shows, and it is what it is.
The show teased that there was more to the relationship than what we saw, though.
Did it shock you when she said she wouldnt be sad if you went home?
She didnt just say that to the confessional camera.
She told me as well.
She said, There can only be one Americas Next Top Model.
That was understandable, and I came up with that response before her.
I thought it was mature and professional on her end and not personally offensive.
Regarding our relationship, it carried on after the show.
It ended mutually because we dont live in the same place, but I dont think it was uneven.
I voiced my attraction to her before she voiced hers, but it was mutual.
