“I don’t really like club music or hip hop or electronic music at all. I’m like an old person.”

I remember being obsessed with Christina Aguilera’s ‘Stripped.’ That was her peak, and she is such an amazing singer. Plus, I was a little gay boy, and the music video for ‘Beautiful’ existed, so obviously I was affected.

I don’t dress up as a woman: I dress up as a caricature of a caricature of a woman.

Katya is literally my flesh and blood. Best friend status.

My look and my character come from my experiences as a child. I wasn’t allowed to have girl toys, and I grew up poor. I also had a rough relationship with my stepdad.

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

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.

I love John Denver. Townes Van Zandt is one of my all-time favorites.

I want to look otherworldly, like I was made in a factory.

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 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.

I can show you in music better than I can tell you in words.

I don’t know if rock is dying. I wouldn’t want to say that, but the world does change. Nothing stays the same.

Obviously I always wanted to do a contemporary piece.

Music at its essence is what gives us memories.

Laying on the floor and listening to music might be all the therapy that you need.

Sometimes I do need to go to karaoke, sometimes I need to relax.

Music is a secret and unconscious mathematical problem of the soul.

There are too many heavy songs out nowadays. music has been getting too heavy, almost to the state of unbearable.
