Ruby Rose Quotes

Never say no to anything, whatever the universe brings me. I’ve always lived by that.

– Ruby Rose

My mom is a painter and an artist. She would play music, and she always had very good taste in music, fashion, and art. She was also a young single mom, so I think she had really good style; she was really free… just really inspiring in her own way and allowed me to find the direction I wanted to take in my life.

– Ruby Rose

I started making my own short films as a way of being able to give myself something to do and to study my craft.

– Ruby Rose

The person I am every single day is the person that’s growing and getting better. The more people look up to me, the more important it is to be concise with what message I want to leave. That’s where I feel like I’m a role model. Maybe not to everyone, but for a lot of minorities, I am, and I kinda love that – the role model for the underdog.

– Ruby Rose

I used to pray to God that I wouldn’t get breasts. Then in my teens, I tried to be quite feminine.

– Ruby Rose

I don’t think of myself as a model. I’m genderqueer, and I’ve got tattoos.

– Ruby Rose

I feel like I’m a boy, but I don’t feel like I should’ve been born with different parts of my body or anything like that. I feel like it’s just all in how I dress and how I talk and how I look and feel, and that makes me happy.

– Ruby Rose

I am very gender fluid and feel more like I wake up every day sort of gender neutral. I cop a fair bit of flack for going from ‘such a babe to such a boy.’

– Ruby Rose

Whether straight, gay, bi, trans… body image and identity can be a struggle for us all.

– Ruby Rose

I think at one point I had 50 or 60 tattoos, but then they all morphed to become a half sleeve and then a full sleeve and then a sleeve with half my hand and then half my back. So I have so many now where I feel like I can get away with saying, ‘I have three tattoos.’

– Ruby Rose

I could live my whole life being so comfortable doing things I’ve already worked hard to not be nervous at, or I could continue to push the envelope and make myself uncomfortable and learn and see what I’m capable of, and acting is definitely that.

– Ruby Rose

I have a lot of characteristics that would normally be present in a guy and then less that would be present in a woman.

– Ruby Rose

I started off as an Australian model. I had so many knockbacks, having short hair and being rejected, and I always thought: I’m never gonna get to where I want to get unless I start looking more feminine.

– Ruby Rose

I feel like my style is very much androgynous. It’s rock, chic, like casual wear, but then on the flip side to that, being that it’s so androgynous, it’ll either be skinny jeans and a leather jacket, or if I’m doing a red carpet or event, I’ll completely flip that and be wearing a suit or a dress.

– Ruby Rose

When I first started in the industry back home in Australia at 18, there was a lot of push and shove as to how I should dress, if I was allowed to cut my hair short, if I had too many tattoos. If I didn’t get a campaign, or if I didn’t get a role, they would always come back to, ‘Well, she dresses like a boy.’

– Ruby Rose

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.

– Ruby Rose

Gender fluidity is not really feeling like you’re at one end of the spectrum or the other. For the most part, I definitely don’t identify as any gender. I’m not a guy; I don’t really feel like a woman, but obviously I was born one. So, I’m somewhere in the middle, which – in my perfect imagination – is like having the best of both sexes.

– Ruby Rose

You don’t wake up at 18 and necessarily become the person you want to be as an adult – you have to work hard to become them.

– Ruby Rose

As a little kid, I was convinced that I was a guy.

– Ruby Rose

Because fashion essentially is art, and as an artist and someone who is also a musician and an artist in regards to drawing and painting, anything I can do that expresses my feelings is something I’m really drawn to.

– Ruby Rose

My mom has really great skin; my dad has really good skin. I don’t feel like I have to do a lot of work in regards to that.

– Ruby Rose

Between ‘Orange’ with Laverne, the show ‘Transparent,’ and Caitlyn Jenner, obviously we’re in the middle of something enormous – a transgender movement. I’m just proud to be alive during this massive shift in the world.

– Ruby Rose

I didn’t know there were options like gender neutral or gender fluid. I later realized you could be a girl and dress like a guy.

– Ruby Rose

Growing up, I had a very vivid imagination and Leonardo was like my best imaginary friend that I spoke to. When things were tough, or I was scared in an unsafe environment, I always imagined that the Ninja Turtles would come to the rescue.

– Ruby Rose

I love therapy. I swear by therapy. I couldn’t exist without therapy.

– Ruby Rose

I had never binge-watched TV before ‘Orange.’

– Ruby Rose
