I'm from Erie, Pennsylvania. We're just naturally really nice, I think. In a show like 'RuPaul's Drag Race,' that isn't always good.
I care about 'RuPaul's Drag Race' a lot. It's given me a career as an artist.
I try to keep Alaska fresh by doing laundry and bathing at least once a month.
I would like to see the breakdown of the binary way of looking at gender and sexuality.
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.
There's always been extreme misogyny in the music industry.
It's a scary world that we are living in.
RuPaul has a very playful outlook on the world. He always looks on the bright side.
I like to take whatever work opportunities I can. I like to work with as many people as I can. I like to show up on time, and I like to have a good time.
I was really grateful that The Vixen, especially, was on season 10 because she was having conversations about race. You can't ignore it, especially in the drag community, in the 'Drag Race' world.
It was horrible having to watch myself on TV. I think I would have had a much better time if I didn't take it so seriously.
You have to take the tragic and turn it to magic.
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.
Honey, unlike the song 'Same Parts' by Tatianna, what you see with Alyssa Edwards is always the truth. She is literally a walking catchphrase factory. She is like an oil out of the ground. She is reality tv, and I absolutely love her.
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.
It's crazy how much time can change things.
I want make sure I'm showing up for the people I'm really close to and my family, and so finding a balance is really important. But I don't want to quit drag at all. I want to be 90 years old and I want them to prop me up in the doorway and have hot dudes dance around me like Mae West. I really do!
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.
I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings.
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.
I care deeply about 'Drag Race' and drag. It's my life and it changed my life.
I'm the Terry Bradshaw of drag. Not Carrie Bradshaw. Terry!
We believe the Queer community is a model for our global extended family, and together we have the power to create positive change for all of humanity.
After taking a retreat into the woods of the Russian River Valley to write, reflect, and commune with nature and one another, 'Amethyst Journey' was born. The album is a collection of songs that are a combination of our outlook and inspirations - a response to current issues and the state of our planet.
I have a very vague surface level awareness of Metallica.
Charli XCX is able to write these really catchy, sexy, irreverent, fun hooks.
I love Little Mix!
I've lived in a trailer park.
Since I was a kid, I've always been skinny and frail framed. I felt powerless as a child, but I always saw so much power in femininity and female sexuality.
I was always drawn to beautiful women.
I'm inspired by Divine certainly, oh, and Britney Spears. I look exactly like her.
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.
Over the years I've evolved a lot as a performer.
I think I've become more professional or more marketable. That happened naturally, and I think 'RuPaul's Drag Race' had a lot to do with that.
I love acting, so doing roles as a man or a woman would be something I'd love to do in the future.
Perhaps I'm just a 'RuPaul's Drag Race' superfan.
I'm unabashedly obsessed with 'The Golden Girls,' and I have been for many years. And I consider myself to be a priest in the church of 'The Golden Girls.'
In my early career I was sort of anti-drag. I said, 'Drag is dumb and boring, and I want to be an effing weirdo and go crazy and rebel.' But now it's like I've come to respect and understand how deep and traditional drag as an art form is.
I like to say that I am based in Los Angeles, but I mostly reside in airports.
I love working with people I admire.
I wanted to record an album that moved through the body's chakra energy system.
I think 'Drag Race' is a remarkable phenomenon and we won't even be able to see the impact of it until many years later.
It's like, when RuPaul calls, I answer.
Drag queens are extremely innovative and, I mean, we will persist through plague, famine, war or pandemic. We will prevail.
Drag Race' is giving visibility to our community. It's on TV and you can see RuPaul, who is a black, queer, powerful figure who has run this empire for years, and I think that's an amazing thing.
Drag is something real. We're so fake that something real actually comes through.
When I'm doing drag, I get to just be a pure channel for it.
I think that Life Ball is great because we're celebrating life and also raising awareness. That's all we need to keep doing.
If 'Drag Race' gets an Emmy nomination, I will put on a red glittery face mask over my mouth and I will lip-sync to an Ariana Grande song.
