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

TRIXIE MATTELI love John Denver. Townes Van Zandt is one of my all-time favorites.
TRIXIE MATTELWhen 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 MATTELI’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.
TRIXIE MATTELI want to look otherworldly, like I was made in a factory.
TRIXIE MATTELIn the real world, people go against my beliefs all the time, and I don’t make it my place to – like, I’m not super confrontational.
TRIXIE MATTELI 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.
TRIXIE MATTELFor years, ‘Drag Race’ was gay people’s best kept secret. When I started doing drag, people didn’t know anything about it. Look at it now: it’s like it’s gone from black and white to IMAX.
TRIXIE MATTELI 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.
TRIXIE MATTELI’m an artist who happens to be in drag. And I think that’s why my drag is a little different.
TRIXIE MATTELDrag Race’ is sort of like trying to lift weights – like, 50 pounds when you should’ve been lifting 20.
TRIXIE MATTELI’m like the Justin Bieber of the drag world.
TRIXIE MATTELOut of drag, I’m a white guy with a guitar, which isn’t special. There are a million white guys with guitars. But being a drag queen with a guitar is a lot more commanding.
TRIXIE MATTELMy grandpa was a country singer, and I started learning guitar from him, just at the kitchen table when I was younger, and I got really into it.
TRIXIE MATTELMost drag queens, they put on music like it’s a costume. It’s not in their bones. It’s not in their background.
TRIXIE MATTELI’m strange! I have a weird sense of humor! I look crazy!
