Chaz Bono's two-part interview with Entertainment Tonight begins airing tonight. Check local listings.
Via People.com comes this quote from the interview:
“Still not anywhere near what I will look like, but really for the first time I am feeling much more comfortable with how I look physically,” he says. “The most important thing about this for me is that my outsides are finally starting to match my insides,” Chaz tells ET. “I feel like I’m living in my body for the first time, and it feels really good.”
TMZ reported last month that Chaz had signed a deal with publisher Dutton to have his memoir, “Coming Clean,” released in Spring 2011.

TMZ broke the news earlier today with a statement released through publicist Howard Bragman:
“He is proud of his decision and grateful for the support and respect that has already been shown by his loved ones. It is Chaz’s hope that his choice to transition will open the hearts and minds of the public regarding this issue, just as his ‘coming out’ did nearly 20 years ago.
We ask that the media respect Chaz’s privacy during this long process as he will not be doing any interviews at this time.”
Following the news, GLAAD President Neil Giuliano released this statement:
“Chaz Bono’s decision to live his life authentically represents an important step forward, both for him personally and for all who are committed to advancing discussions about fairness and equality for transgender people,” said Neil G. Giuliano, president of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). “Coming out as transgender is an extremely personal decision and one that is never made lightly. We look forward to hearing Chaz’s story in his own words in the future.”
“GLAAD encourages media outlets to cover this story accurately, and to avoid speculation about the details of Chaz’s story before he is ready to share them.”
