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

I don’t expect a lot of people who love drag to also be like, ‘I love ‘Drag Race,’ and then I got to hear my Chris Stapleton album.’ Not necessarily an obvious crossover.
TRIXIE MATTEL -
Most drag queens, they put on music like it’s a costume. It’s not in their bones. It’s not in their background.
TRIXIE MATTEL -
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 MATTEL -

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.

TRIXIE MATTEL -
I was the poorest kid in my school, poorest kid in my town, poorest family. That stayed with me forever.
TRIXIE MATTEL -
To me, drag is about doing whatever you want, and nobody says anything. And ‘Drag Race’ is about doing what you’re told and having it evaluated. I hate being judged.
TRIXIE MATTEL -
I don’t really like club music or hip hop or electronic music at all. I’m like an old person.
TRIXIE MATTEL -
