I dropped out of college and worked on a cruise ship for a time.
I'm a tech-savvy person by nature, but I have had to train myself to do what I've got to do. I learned Final Cut and Adobe After Effects.
I'm such a huge fan of all this material that I'm spoofing.
TV, that's the ultimate goal. I hope to bring what I am doing now to a weekly television format.
I need Netflix to sort of wisen up and give me a staff and a budget, that would be fun.
Whatever is going on in the news and whoever is in the spotlight is up for grabs and fodder for satire.
My mother, she wanted the gayest child... and she got it.
I'm very much a homebody. But I can't help to put CNN on and before you know it, I'm thinking of material.
I feel a responsibility to my fan base. But it's great. I'm most fulfilled and happy when I'm being creative.
I would love to be on a sitcom or on Broadway.
I love to be silly as often as possible. I try to maintain a level of that in all that I do.
I have parents coming to the live show saying that they watch my videos with their kids. I have teachers saying they have used the videos with their students.
People, I think, are more interested in being offended than getting to the heart of a situation. And to go after comedians to me is so counterproductive, because comedy is kind of a medicine.
The best comedy is truthful. So if you say something in a way that is amusing, but is rooted in truth, you can get away with it.
I got a fan letter from Hillary Clinton, which was insane.
I heard from Stephen Sondheim, who has become a great supporter of mine. There was no one bigger when I was growing up.
My father was always in bands. He played drums and could sing. And my grandfather was a band leader.
I think kind of what you see in the videos is true to me, if not maybe a slightly heightened version of my real self.
I'm just a boy with a dream from Queens. Just a queen from Queens.
I think that I did inherit a very expressive face from my mother and my grandmother.
