“I didn’t start drag because I thought it would be a ticket to anything. I did it for my own narcissistic fulfillment. When I started selling records, going on tour, doing TV. I never expected any of it.”

When someone says ‘Yasss queen!’ to me, I turn around and, X-Men style, run through a wall. You’ll never hear from me again.

I think people are slowly realizing that don’t have to be looking in a mirror to enjoy something. And they’re realizing that watching a show with drag queens in it doesn’t make you gay any more then listening to rap makes you black.

I have definitely had guys walk up to me, put their arm around me, and when they walk away, my shoulder smells like taco meat.

I’m not good at anything! I can do, like, two voices.

Something ‘Drag Race’ is really good at is portraying us as artists but also human beings. And normal human beings don’t know everything. They don’t have all the answers.

The best way to create emotional or spiritual distance between me and another person is for them to come up to me and go, ‘yaassssss.’

When I’m in drag, I don’t always want to be spoken to, but I love being looked at. Nobody puts that much work into how they look to be ignored.

Dark comedy helped me survive.

I never check my bank account. I know that sounds crazy. But I don’t know how much is in there. I never know how much is in there. I have an idea – I have a bottom line – but I never look because I always make believe there’s never anything in there.

I’m very proud of my career. A lot of people get their career from the judges of ‘Drag Race’ saying they’re great. I had to go and build that reputation from the ground up.

I think being young and, like, 14, 15, you feel like a weirdo, and playing guitar with my grandpa in my grandma’s kitchen is probably my fondest memories I’ll ever have.

I listened to a lot of what my grandparents listened to: George Jones, Johnny Cash – a lot of old country singers. Patsy Cline.

Mental health and sobriety is not a straight line, and ‘Drag Race’ is a family, and we support our family members through anything.

My favorite drag queens are Tammie Brown and Katya, so I like my drag queens a little left of sanity.

I plan to publicize my breakups and profit from them like other celebrities.

I’ve always said drag queens are like Swiss Army knives. Most come from having to take $50-a-show pay and doing their own costume, wig, music and jokes.

I expect to do more work for woman suffrage in the next decade than ever before.

We are confident that we will continue to play an active role in national affairs without disappointing everyone’s expectations.

The ego-self constantly pushes reality away. It constructs a future out of empty expectations and a past out of regretful memories.

Change is something that is expected and, therefore, not resisted.

I desire the things that will destroy me in the end.

We don’t rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training.

Like love, the light or guidance of truth that influences us exists only in living form, not in principles or rules or expectations or advice, however widely circulated.

Peo­ple who start think­ing deep dark thoughts in the mid­dle of a war start ex­pect­ing to lose.
