“Listen, there's an expiration date for everything, but I mean, we're not burning out on 'Top Models,' are we? We're not burning out on making things in a 'Runway' room, are we? We're not getting enough 'Got Talent,' right? We'll never run out of talent. So, how could there be a 'Drag' burnout?”

“Selfridges - we just look; we don't shop!”

“We must keep fighting until using the word 'equality' isn't necessary because we will all be living as one.”

“For me, my favorite Mariah Carey songs were never the singles, ever. My favorite Mariah song of all time is 'Sent From Up Above' from her first album, or 'Vanishing,' songs no one talks about.”

“I think we've seen every type of drag come across the stage of 'RuPaul's Drag Race,' and there is no end in sight of what can be on the stage.”

“I do drag. Just because my drag is not the drag of Creme Fatale or Holy McGrail doesn't mean it's less drag. I perform live; I just sing with dancers. It's drag on a different level.”

“I moved to New York City in the '80s to be an actress and to be on Broadway. That was always my dream.”

“I'm a heterosexual, married woman with children. I'm a mother who's also a track mom, who cooks and cleans. And I just happen to be an ally for the gay community.”

“It takes an awful lot to offend me.”

“When I moved to New York, the gay community welcomed me with open arms and told me how beautiful I was. I will never turn my back on them.”

“I love Oxford Circus, so I can do Primarni, and I can do River Island and Topshop and Selfridges.”

“Years and years of therapy taught me to speak up because speaking up is what gets things done and gets your story and your voice heard.”

“There are a lot of kids out there that look at me as their mother, and I have my two biological children, and there are so many queens that look at me as an aunt or some sort of confidante, and I can absorb it really well.”

“The challenge of 'Drag Race' is always the appearance and the challenge. It's never just the challenge. It's always the combination.”

“You can all get what you want to get, and so my journey was to show you how many times along the way adversity has stared me right in the face, and I've looked it right back and said, 'No.'”

“I have stayed in touch and connected with many over the years. I am very lucky that way. Some that you don't expect to connect with you will wind up loving. The ones that you look forward to the most will sometimes let you down.”

“I think Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani, and Victoria Beckham all have an aesthetic that I admire, but I also love extreme risk takers like Miley Cyrus and Rihanna.”

“I am just forthcoming - completely blunt and honest.”

“There are different types of people in this world, and I am the type of person who loves to give.”

“I don't do CDs. I only do radio. That's the truth.”
