Willam Belli

“My signature scent is naivete.”

“And who wouldn't want to date Jonathan Bennett, right?”

“I think finding a way to relate material to yourself can be useful to some people but acting for me is just being really good at make-pretend and lying. I've always been a great liar.”

“My grandma spelled my name wrong until she died. Like literally, birthday cards, mail, everything.”

“A Star Is Born' was everything. Gaga and Bradley, and having people you look up to laugh at your jokes, felt really good.”

“Always tip a drag queen. If they're good, they deserve it. And if they're bad, at least they'll go away after that buck.”

“I'm a drag queen. I want colors that get attention. The world does not need another palette with eight tans and a blue.”

“I've never really considered myself a musician.”

“If I die tomorrow I could die happy, because this feels like possibly the biggest thing I'll ever do in my career, and I'm fine with that. I get to be in a movie with Gaga.”

“I just do my own thing, and my flower continues to blossom like one of those delicious Bloomin' Onions from Outback Steakhouse.”

“I don't know how to do anything else and lack any skill that would be applicable on a resume. Drag is what I know. The gigs are my life.”

“Showing up is like 90 percent of the battle, and just make sure your hair is really cute.”

“I think that drag makes anything better.”

“I know you are not a woman if you are voting for Mitt Romney. Because no woman in her right mind would vote for a man that opposes a woman's right to get a clean abortion or a safe abortion.”

“My goal with the makeup line was that you wouldn't have to use brushes. Fingers are my favorite thing.”

“I'm aware of the other drag artists with makeup lines, and I celebrate them. The pie is big and there's room for everybody.”

“I'm not a persona, and I'm not a character. I'm always the same person.”

“My priority is my happiness.”

“I have nothing but respect for RuPaul, but it's impossible for me to be happy working with people who don't treat others the way they want to be treated.”

“The next RuPaul is an actor, a singer, a personality, not someone who can just get up at a bar. So I'm looking to do all those things.”
