I'm more of a person who does and not necessarily says.

As with any season, there are plenty of people who would have made fabulous winners, and I just hope to honor the legacy of 'RuPaul's Drag Race,' and I hope to continue to make my fans, my friends, my family, and my sisters from my season proud.
Every day, I'm learning new things about myself. Every day, I'm learning new things about life.
I'm so blessed to have family that's so supportive of my choices.
Every time we get in drag and bat an eyelash, it is a political statement.
Well... I don't think everyone can actually be a drag queen, but I think everyone should investigate drag.
New York City is home to some of the most talented individuals anywhere, and whether you are born here or a transplant, the city has always had a tendency to breed perfection.
I've always been involved with the performing arts from a young age.
I sometimes forget that my vision of the world is not remotely anyone else's.
I think everyone is always so surprised to see the friendship that I have with The Vixen. We are very supportive of each other.
I'm very thoughtful and thorough when it comes to my looks and the detail I put into my drag.
I just see that there's a lot that I can do as far as sparking change and helping amplify the voices of marginalized people.
Whether it was with drag or with sports or in school or whatever I was interested in, my parents were always supportive of me.
Drag isn't a selective club. It's something everyone can be welcomed to.
For me, some of the key points of drag are knowing who you are, how you want to go about making people happy with your art, and why you're doing what you're doing.
I'll do two gigs on a Saturday night until four o'clock in the morning, wake up, and do drag brunch on a Sunday, and then another party Sunday night. I definitely take what I do very seriously.
Drag has always been very political and challenging of societal norms and other aspects of life.
It's so stupid, but I used to subscribe to Rachel Ray's magazine when I was little because I loved cooking and home things and stuff like that.
I'm very receptive to direction, to change, and to developing myself as an artist and human.
There are people who don't understand some of the core aspects of being a decent human being.
Drag is all about self-expression; there's so many different angles you can take on it.
Drag is about whatever persona you put on to do a particular task. I could pick up trash in the morning and throw on my navy blue jumpsuit, and that would be that gig!
As I continued to grow throughout middle and high school, I began to expose myself to different areas of art like makeup, fashion, and later drag. I always had costumes laying around my house, so there were plenty of opportunities for me to dress up and turn a look.
If you look like a million bucks, people might assume you come from a million bucks.
