I care about 'RuPaul's Drag Race' a lot. It's given me a career as an artist.
It's crazy how much time can change things.
My last name is like 'Voldemort.' It's the name that cannot be said on television. It adds a sort of mystery to me, and I like that.
I'm a giant person. I can't go and buy women's shoes in a shoe store. I don't even go in the shoe section because it just breaks my heart because the shoes are so beautiful, but they don't fit me.
My mom knew that I was gay. So she just came up to me in the kitchen one night, and she said, 'Justin, are you a homosexual?' And I said, 'Yes,' and that was that. She took all the steps, she went to talk to a family counselor beforehand to see how she should bring it up, and now my mom's my biggest fan.
If I could send myself a bunch of snake emojis, I probably would.
I think Christmas is a time for the whole family.
I think that my attitude about myself is something that I've been trying to work on - trying to be more positive and just believing in myself more.
I try to keep Alaska fresh by doing laundry and bathing at least once a month.
I wanted a song my 6-year-old niece could listen to in the car. 'Everyday is Christmas' sounds like a sweet sentiment, but in reality if every day were actually Christmas it would be a candy cane-riddled hellscape from which the human race could never awaken. So we're lucky it is just a lighthearted Christmas tune.
I love acting, so doing roles as a man or a woman would be something I'd love to do in the future.
I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings.
Realness is something in such short supply; you can't believe anything anyone is saying when you turn on the television, and then during the commercials, they are lying to you there also. You can't believe anything, but when you go see a drag show, something real is happening on stage.
I've never been on that side - being reviled by hundreds of thousands of people online. I guess that experience was really terrible, but it's just added another stitch to the tapestry of my character, so I've seen life from both sides now. I've been beloved and reviled.
I feel like I want to be in a world and in a community where we can be kinder to one another, because that is never going to hurt... And that should start with myself.
My biggest fashion tip for quarantine is, honey, just because we're homebound doesn't mean you can't put on a gown or a nice jacket, do your hair or put on a winged liner, just go for it.
You can't control how you come across and if you try to then you come across looking like an idiot anyway.
I would like to see the breakdown of the binary way of looking at gender and sexuality.
I come from the theater, so I like it being: curtain up, this is what we want you to see, we have a reason for showing it to you, and then the curtain comes down, and that's it.
If we took the passion and the conviction that the activist trans community has and we combined it with this over-the-top marketable charisma of drag, I feel like if we worked together, we could really effect major social change and world change.
