“Some people say that ‘Drag Race’ is about glory and immortalizing yourself in the Hall of Fame. For me, it’s about shaking RuPaul down for her money.”

Katya and I, as a yin and a yang, we pretty much represent the entire, full gambit of talent, you know? Together, there’s not really much we can’t do.

I love John Denver. Townes Van Zandt is one of my all-time favorites.

I want to look otherworldly, like I was made in a factory.

Bad things can happen to you, but it doesn’t mean you have to have regrets. It’s all about what you do with it.

One of my trophies of ‘Drag Race’ is getting to meet Katya.

Drag will always find a way to be weird.

I’m strange! I have a weird sense of humor! I look crazy!

I don’t really like club music or hip hop or electronic music at all. I’m like an old person.

I live in reality, and I know at any moment I could stop getting the phone calls and nobody wants to hear me sing or tell jokes anymore.

Most drag queens, they put on music like it’s a costume. It’s not in their bones. It’s not in their background.

I guess I just believe in Trixie Mattel, and I believe in the work. I don’t think I’m better than anybody else, but I really think that I’m hilarious and beautiful.

I don’t think gay guys are in touch with how many fabulous divas we have that actually play their own instruments and write their own music, too.

Whatever is underneath all the drag, it actually doesn’t really matter. It kind of just matters, are you a great entertainer? And are you nice to work with? Are you good at your job?

I love that drag is a way for people to vacation in the gay nightlife, but… it’s quite a different experience to perform for a gay audience than a straight audience.

That’s something I like about drag – I get to do everything. Collaborative arts are hard for me because I don’t really like to relinquish control.

The only advice my Dad’s given me is: If you ain’t having fun, it ain’ working, so always have fun with what you’re doing. If you don’t love it then there’s no reason to do it. And don’t do it for fame or money- do it because it’s something that you feel is right.

Eight days ago, we were the toast of the town. Eight days later we’re Thanksgiving turkeys.

Despite being in showbiz, I have a very real approach to my life. It plays off with my social life.

It’s such a great honor to be mentioned along The Beatles.

Fame, power, and gold, are loved for their own sakes – are worshipped with a blind, habitual idolatry.

Fame is directly related to the kind of support you have from an audience and the love and support I have from audience is so immense and so huge, that the percentage of negativity is so small compared to that that it would be very easy for it to lose itself.

Donate and do not talk about it, they say you do nothing for the society; do and talk about it, they say you seek publicity!

More than rich, more than famous, more than happy .I wanted to be great.
