Chi Chi DeVayne

“I would always come back to 'Drag Race.' Whatever they want me for, I'll come back.”

“I want to show the fans that I do have a voice, as well as I'm a great rapper.”

“One of the most famous poems I know by Maya Angelou is not 'I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,' it's the other one, 'Still I Rise.'”

“I want the legacy of Chi Chi Devayne to be a damn good performer that came from nowhere and took the world by storm.”

“I did good in Season 8 'Snatch Game,' but it was horrible, cringe-y to watch.”

“I did a Christmas tour and I sang on that and the response I got was people want to hear more of Chi Chi's voice.”

“My drag is that real Southern dragged-out style of drag.”

“I would tell little Zavion Davenport that it doesn't matter where you're from and how you grew up, the neighborhood you grew up in.”

“Well, it's hard for me to call anybody my 'friend' because when I say 'friend,' like, I'm from the South and friends have grown up with you, went to school with you, stuff like that.”

“I wish that I had the guts to stand up for gay rights.”

“In high school, I was in the band and I was a percussionist, but I always used to watch the girls dance. I used to want to be on the team so bad.”

“I have to be obedient to my fans and come on back and give 'em everything that they want.”

“Like I said, I've always been a lazy drag queen. I'm actually a boy and I hate dressing up. I don't hate it. It's fun, but it's not something that I like doing all the time.”

“I want to do music, film, acting - all of that kind of stuff.”

“People loved me because I'm a great person to be friends with, but when it comes down to drag, I didn't want them to think badly of me.”

“I really don't do celebrity impersonations at all.”

“Girl, I've seen people shot. I've smelled, like, the smell of brains. When I tell you I come from the streets, I'm not kidding.”

“Everybody knows me for my famous lip-syncs, 'I'm Telling You,' and a few more on top of that.”

“I love to get on stage and burn it up.”

“That has nothing to do with how far you can go. Never be ashamed of how you walk, talk because that is going to be the key to your success.”
