“I was doing drag as just a hobby on the weekends to let my hair down. I never thought of drag was going to be my career and what I would be doing for the rest of my life. Once I made it onto 'Drag Race,' I'm like, 'Oh, OK - this is my calling.”

“Not accepting where I came from, and who I am as a person, the voice, you know, the appearance, the everything. 'Drag Race' has opened my eyes to see there's so much more than where I came from and to, like, not hold that against myself.”

“I'm Chi Chi, and everybody knows when I get on stage, it's magical.”

“I've always wanted to do Broadway.”

“Cardi B or Tiffany Haddish from 'Girl's Trip,' I think I could play those two.”

“I've been singing since I was like 7 years old in the choir at church, so I do have a little bit of a voice.”

“In the beginning, believe it or not, me and Acid Betty were good friends.”

“I think people are becoming more receptive to the alternative styles of drag.”

“A lot of people don't know this, but I sing.”

“I'm a performing queen.”

“Once we're done filming, we're all buddy buddy, laying all over each other and grooming each other and just helping each other out. They never show any of that kind of stuff. You can't do RuPaul's Best Friends Race!”

“I didn't know there was an extra 'a' in Maya Angelou! I spelled it like 'Mya' the singer.”

“A lot of the stuff I was on 'All Stars,' it wasn't new, it was all stuff out of my closet and stuff that I made myself.”

“I don't know, maybe I have a sixth sense or something.”

“To me, I was celebrating the accomplishment of making it on 'All Stars' and doing the best I could. There was no way I could leave being bitter or sad about achieving another girl, accomplishing things that no one else has had the opportunity to do. I was just in a good place. And it was so stressful.”

“I wanted to prove to people that I can make great costumes.”

“Fans are crazy, so I try not to pay attention to most of the negativity that they bring up.”

“When I'm pressured, I have to click into survival mode.”
