“I hate drag. It’s extremely uncomfortable. It’s awful. I’m in a full corset and pads and giant wigs.”

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.

Some of my favorite drag queens are women.

Drag Race’ is sort of like trying to lift weights – like, 50 pounds when you should’ve been lifting 20.

When I was on ‘Drag Race,’ it felt like a serious competition going on between drag queens and then Katya and I were also there.

I am not really single, I am dating my self , I take my self out to eat, I buy myself clothes, I love me, I’m awesome.

I say, beware of all enterprises that require new clothes, and not rather a new wearer of clothes.

I wanted to give a woman comfortable clothes that would flow with her body. A woman is closest to being naked when she is well-dressed.

You don’t love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear.

I think women are sexy when they got some clothes on. And if later they take them off then you’ve triumphed.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair.

I don’t trust people who don’t love themselves and tell me, I love you. There is an African saying which is: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.

Clothing & fashion are kind of my security blanket, almost.
