Sometimes in life, you're not always given a second chance, but if you do, take advantage of it, and go out with a bang!
Past 'Drag Race' alum that I've spoken to, their biggest advice to me was, 'Expect the unexpected,' and, 'There's no way that you can prepare for this,' so I thought I was at least ahead of the curve knowing that I wasn't prepared.
If everyone's rocking the same cool, hard-to-find fabrics, they might not be as cool and hard to find as you think.
I love a quick little magician gag.
Every day, I'm learning new things about myself. Every day, I'm learning new things about life.
Drag is all about self-expression; there's so many different angles you can take on it.
If you look like a million bucks, people might assume you come from a million bucks.
The representation that I always go back to is a pop star - whether it's Lady Gaga or Madonna, I love the way those women in pop music have always made an effort to create a specific vision.
Tip your drag queens, bartenders, and don't rub your chopsticks together at the sushi restaurant. Also, just in general, don't be a dirtbag human.
Well... I don't think everyone can actually be a drag queen, but I think everyone should investigate drag.
There are many times where we lose faith in our country and ourselves, and I think drag is definitely a form of entertainment and a form of hope that tells us we have to hope for a brighter future.
Doing makeup, especially for drag, is all about being aware of the geography and angles of your face.
Getting into drag almost seemed like, not my destiny, but you know how a caterpillar is gonna become a butterfly no matter what? It felt very like that.
Drag will always be a dynamic and powerful art form, and it is my duty now to honor the artists who have come before me while continuing to pioneer my own path and history by being open to growth and change as a human and a drag superstar.
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.
'Jesus of Suburbia' is such a dynamic song from start to finish; it's nine minutes of craziness and hectic-ness and emotion... It's one of those songs where I know that for the next couple of days, I don't have to go to the gym, because I got my workout running around the stage and thrashing to Green Day.
For me, I went into 'Drag Race' wanting to further catapult my career, to travel around the world, and perform for all my fans.
Accidents happen and all of that, but it's how we pick ourselves up from the accidents that matters.
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.
I'm a huge fan of Green Day's album 'American Idiot'; it was just a whole, very thorough experience.
