I can't tell you at DragCon how many families that waited in line to see me. Some of them waited up to five hours, and they had their family there. That's the beauty of this. I remember being that little gay boy in Mesquite that was so afraid of the world, like, 'Am I living right? Am I living wrong?'

I think what happened is I learned my strengths, but more importantly, I learned to embrace my weaknesses.

Every performer will have a bad night. It's just inevitable.

This movement that RuPaul has created and World of Wonder and Logo has allowed to be aired, it's so much than just gay men carrying on in high heels and wigs and fake fingernails. It's truly a story of courageous souls. And I'm grateful that I'm a part of this.

A good dancer is not necessarily defined by great technique, skill, or ability to pick up choreography but by confidence. When you feel the music, it penetrates to your soul. Everybody's a dancer. The greatest dancer is someone who is willing to dance, not afraid.

If people don't ask you for their opinion, you don't have to share it, but if you are asked, be honest.

I'm gonna be the best version of me. If there's something I don't know, I'm not afraid to ask.

Growing up as a little, introverted boy, dance was the only way I could communicate. For me, it's the greatest language - no words. Sharing people's stories through the art of movement is magical.

I thought doing drag in the beginning was fun: playing dress up.

It's overwhelming that so many people love what you do and appreciate and get it. It's very rewarding.

People know I like to laugh and have a good time. Even when I'm sassy, it's still kind of stupid-silly.
