“I’m quite arty. I didn’t know whether to become an artist or musician but I realised I could paint with music. All my songs have colours.”

When the world’s against me is when I really come alive.

Be a true heart, not a follower.

The club isn’t the best place to find a lover so the bar is where I go.

The world may be filled with hate, but keep erasing it now, somehow.

The best thing about being on the road in general is just playing every single night in front of people that are genuinely fans of your music.

I’ve always had really messy hair.

Country music is some of the best-written music in the world, so yeah, one day, I would keep my mind open to doing a country record.

What didn’t kill me, it didn’t make me stronger at all.

Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul and it’s the only thing that I know.

Life is more than fittin’ in your jeans. It’s love and understanding, positivity.

Growing up, I was inspired by The Beatles and Bob Dylan. Damian Rice was a huge influence for me musically.

A heart that’s broke is a heart that’s been loved.

“You want to make sure that someone is there for you when you really need them, and not just there for you for the good times.

Success is the best revenge for anything.

Negativity isn’t the way to go. Smile more, eat some chocolate.

I do like my hair. It took a while to come around to the fact that it was quite a unique value point.

Every true artist must, in his own way, be a magician, a charlatan.

The artist should preach nothing-not even his own autonomy. His art should speak its own truth, and in so doing it will be in harmony with every other kind of truth- moral, metaphysical, mystical.

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.

I often see only my mistakes. I always feel I could have done better. Every artist goes through it.

As drag queens and as comic people, we listen to our own artistic compass all the time.

My philosophy is that I’m an artist. I perform an art not with a paint brush or a camera. I perform with bodily movement. Instead of exhibiting my art in a museum or a book or on canvas, I exhibit my art in front of the multitudes.

As a fashion designer, I was always aware that I was not an artist, because I was creating something that was made to be sold, marketed, used, and ultimately discarded.

An artist is always out of step with the time. He has to be.
