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.
Trixie MattelTrixie Mattel 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.

Trixie MattelTrixie Mattel Drag Race’ is sort of like trying to lift weights – like, 50 pounds when you should’ve been lifting 20.
Trixie MattelTrixie Mattel 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.
Trixie MattelTrixie Mattel Drag Race’ doesn’t claim to represent drag as a whole. ‘Drag Race’ is a reality show. If you see real drag shows, we just do drag and respect each other’s art and who your real identity is – name, gender, hair color, anything.
Trixie MattelTrixie Mattel I love my life so much. I wouldn’t change anything.
Trixie MattelTrixie Mattel 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.
Trixie MattelTrixie Mattel 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.
Trixie MattelTrixie Mattel 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.
Trixie MattelTrixie Mattel I’m not good at anything! I can do, like, two voices.
Trixie MattelTrixie Mattel 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.
Trixie MattelTrixie Mattel 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.’
Trixie MattelTrixie Mattel 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.
Trixie MattelTrixie Mattel Dark comedy helped me survive.
Trixie MattelTrixie Mattel 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.
