Drag queens always base their personas on their favorite female icons. Mine was Barbie, who's not necessarily a human but is as iconic and beautiful as any woman. I started really pushing it because I hit a crossroads of, 'I don't want to look like a woman or a man. I want to look like a wind-up toy, a plaything manufactured in a factory.'

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

Most drag queens, they put on music like it's a costume. It's not in their bones. It's not in their background.
