Drag is never going to be completely mainstream because it's still a queer art form.

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.

It takes an awful lot to offend me.

I am a competitor, I am a Virgo, and for me, I would never quit anything.

Life is the greatest teacher.

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.

I was a theater major, and I remember being in college, and whenever my professor would assign me songs that I hated, I really had a hard time singing them. One time, I even faked sick so I wouldn't have to sing a song.

Growing up in New Jersey, teen clubs were your life. I'm not kidding! That was it. I was literally tied up five days a week with teen clubs; my parents would drop me off. Like, I didn't even drive.

I am very much about peace. There is so much turmoil in this world.

Even though I present as heterosexual, I've been all over the planet sexually and proud of that and never tried to hide it.

I hate - I hate - queens coming on and doing boy drag on 'RuPaul's Drag Race' because I feel like it's not edgy; it's not different. You can see it anywhere.

We have to fight for what's right the same way the brothers and sisters that came before us did. The ultimate example, and there are many others, was The Stonewall Inn. They were pushed until they could take no more.

It's taken me a long, long time to figure out how to deal with negativity, because it used to really upset me. I was always that girl that, if I was performing in the club and there was one person not paying attention or not liking me, the whole club could be packed with people loving me, but I'd be obsessed with that one person.

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.

You get one go round in this life. Why are you going to settle for second best when you can get everything you want out of it?

As an adopted kid, it means a lot when I hear women say, 'I don't want kids.' I have a lot of respect for them.

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

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

I'm the parent of a queer child, and for my kid to know that they can always come to me and I'm going to love them no matter what is the biggest gift.

To see queer people keeping each other down makes me so sad because I've been around for a long time - I've seen the people who came before us fight for what we have right now, and they did not fight like that for us to go backwards.

I love Marc Jacobs and what Kim Jones is doing for Dior Homme.

I help tons of people through their sobriety and getting help, but not because I have lived it but because I love them, care about them, and want them to live their best lives possible. If I can help anyone through that, then that it is my honor.

I hit the road with a bunch of drag queens every year, sometimes two times a year. Again, as such a fan of drag, it's the art form that excites me and the longform presentation that they do. So it's super exciting to be with them, doing what they love to do and doing it well.

I know television. I've done it for a while, and I know that most of the time, you don't get second chances.

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

I am a massive bargain hunter, so my list of bargains goes on and on and on.

To me, even what the glossies would consider a fashion disaster are still self expression.

I'm a huge mediator.

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.

I was one of the people that always got chosen last, and I think I bulked up my comedy bone to make up for my lack of friends.

I had a dialect coach from the Royal Shakespeare Company who was from Sheffield.

The Brits know how crazy Adele is. Americans have no clue about Adele and how crazy she is!

'RuPaul's Drag Race' is a show about love, art, passion, acceptance, and the quest for finding America's next drag superstar. No show on the telly box has more grit than these queens.

My humour is spot on.

Ru and I have been best friends since, well, let's just say they used the telegraph when we first met. Being able to work with my BFF is a dream come true and even more? To see what he has done for himself, the art of drag and the gay community in general constantly blows me away.

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

For the kids out there that are worried about what the future holds, especially the LGBTQI+ kids, our brothers and sisters that came before us didn't fight for nothing. Trust me: we will only move forward, but you need to put your fear aside and find the strength to believe that.

Personally, I think what's happening in my beautiful country is embarrassing, but I also know that Trump doesn't speak for the majority of us.

I never felt welcome in the heteronormative groups.

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.

It's very difficult to be fully accepting of who you are when you've got that superficial world out there.

I try to be happy as much as I can. I'm really not a downer; I hate victims. I hate needy people. I'm that person who always tries to make the best of any situation. I'm probably happiest when I'm with my kids or with a gaggle of gays.

Any time you get to see a bunch of drag queens performing music and performing songs and being idiots, I'm in.

The beautiful thing about 'Drag Race' is it's the most inclusive television show, probably on the planet. It's the place where kids go because they feel like they don't fit in anywhere else. It's the place they go to feel safe.

'Drag Race' is the escape that everybody needs - gay, straight, or otherwise.

I'm a real theatre kid - that's all I ever wanted to be.

When I was younger, I would write a ton, mostly because my mom told me I had incredible creativity and a gift of using words, only these were words that didn't get me in trouble.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder for real.

I'm a musichead. My favorite Gaga song of all time is 'You & I' - it might not be the popular vote in terms of charts or sales, but it's my favorite.
