Quote by -Courtney Act
It's detrimental not to support marriage equality, even just on a financial level.
Quote by -Courtney Act
People care about what I have to say now, and they want to hear it, and that's one of the greatest gifts you can be given.
Quote by -Courtney Act
I think my first actual real job was a door-to-doors salesperson for Foxtel, a cable TV company, and that lasted a couple of weeks because I got held, like I wouldn't say at swordpoint, but I was kept in someone's house against my will and she did have a sword and was sort of brandishing it.
Quote by -Courtney Act
I genuinely had always thought, this sounds dumb, I always thought that 'RuPaul's Drag Race' was shot in the basement of RuPaul's house.
Quote by -Courtney Act
Normally when you go to a queer space the people often look like you, they are the same age as you and so on, but at Mardi Gras and at queer events in general, everybody is different, everybody comes together. And that is what I love about Pride and Mardi Gras and those sort of events.
Quote by -Courtney Act
Because bisexual people almost have a foot in the gay and the straight world, their friends can misunderstand them too. Like if a bisexual man starts dating another man, people are like 'Ah, he's gay,' but you know, bisexual people remain bisexual, and their attractions can change and flux over time.
Quote by -Courtney Act
I think that gay men in particular need to just listen to bisexual people and believe them when they say they're attracted to different genders.
Quote by -Courtney Act
I acknowledge that I'm really fortunate to have found pockets of people all through my life who've accepted me.
Quote by -Courtney Act
It's so easy to be polarised and yell from different sides of the room about certain subjects, but I think it's so much better to walk into the middle and have a conversation to drive change forward.
Quote by -Courtney Act
So many reactions in our lives are based on what happened to us when we were younger.
Quote by -Courtney Act
Call me old fashioned, but I love songs that end. As a songwriter, I feel like you put a fade out when you can't work out how to end a song.
Quote by -Courtney Act
I think it's really important to acknowledge that gay men and straight men can be friends.
Quote by -Courtney Act
I love being Courtney, but it almost feels like something different to drag for me - it's a part of me, it's not a parody, it's a form of expression for me, a way to give my feminine and masculine sides an outlet.
Quote by -Courtney Act
Drag is more like a license to be what you want. But you don't need drag to do that.
Quote by -Courtney Act
The gay community has had a sometimes tumultuous relationship with non-queer people coming to their shows because it was tourism, like using the queer spaces as a form of comic relief or entertainment.
Quote by -Courtney Act
I think it's really cool that 'Drag Race' has created this space where so many different kinds of people can come together and socialise and have fun on equal terms.
Quote by -Courtney Act
On 'Love Island' you're trying to win the prize money and stay together; on 'The Bi Life,' the winner is the one that finds love.
Quote by -Courtney Act
It's easy to make a reality show that's sensational but it's more challenging to make a reality show that's got a lot of heart and integrity and still keeps you enthralled and makes you want to keep watching.
Quote by -Courtney Act
You can't really necessarily explain what being on a reality show is like until it's happening to you.
Quote by -Courtney Act
Recognizing your place of power and privilege in an unfair system can, as an ally, help you to start using that privilege as an opportunity to do good.
Quote by -Courtney Act
I just feel like, at any moment, a drag or a trans or a gender-diverse artist that doesn't fit in a box is ready to break into the mainstream. I want to do my best to put myself in the best position to have that happen for me.
Quote by -Courtney Act
The thing about gay male pop stars is: they aren't supported by gay men. Gay men don't really support them until they've gone beyond the gay community and had success in the mainstream, so it's really challenging.
Quote by -Courtney Act
As a drag performer, people have traditionally put us into the category of 'pervert' or 'deviant' or things like that. So I've always been really careful not to be vulgar or grotesque with sexuality.
Quote by -Courtney Act
I've seen attraction manifest itself in so many fascinating ways. Lots of straight-identifying men have been attracted to me as Courtney.
Quote by -Courtney Act
I've had boyfriends I've dated whom I met as Courtney, but then dated as Shane. Courtney can certainly act as a glamorous stepping stone across the pond.
Quote by -Courtney Act
There are gay people in every community, there are bi people in every community and they can come together with a bit of strength.
Quote by -Courtney Act
The ability to create anything I want without rules is the real thing I love about drag.
Quote by -Courtney Act
To hold and know the power of a woman is something so amazing that I don't think a woman could ever understand because they cannot know life without it.
Quote by -Courtney Act
Drag has taught me that I have deliberate control over my image, and when this notion is applied to one's whole life, it is both powerful and transformative.
Quote by -Courtney Act
An ex-boyfriend of mine is living with HIV. He has an undetectable viral load so I know first-hand how this can affect people in a serodiscordant couple - which is where one partner is HIV-negative and one is HIV-positive.
Quote by -Courtney Act
'The Bi Life' will show many stories. I think that people will find some of those stereotypes, maybe some people are greedy, maybe some people are using bisexual as a transition, but not all of them are.
Quote by -Courtney Act
There's so much visibility for trans people, for gay men and lesbians, but there's still not a lot for bisexual people.
Quote by -Courtney Act
For my teen years and all of my twenties it felt like I was trying to live up to this expectation of being a man and what that meant - not just what clothes I wore, but how I acted.
Quote by -Courtney Act
I was always made to feel that men were desirable because of their masculinity, and for a boy, being feminine was not something you should be proud of. But, I came to realise it's OK for boys to be feminine, for girls to be masculine and we should all express ourselves however we want.
