My goal is to always come from a place of love, but sometimes you just have to break it down for a motherfucker.

You can come for my look, you can come for my talent, but don’t you ever fucking come for my family.

A lot of times things don’t go the way that you planned them. Okay? That happens- for a lot of us out there. But let me tell you something! You pick UP the Hallehula hoop, and you put it back around your waist! And you WORK the Hallehula Hoop!

You are not who you think you are. This is just a temporary package that you’ve put together on this planet and it’s not to be taken seriously. You’re supposed to have fun with it. [Laughs] Now, that knowledge threatens a lot of people who are so invested in their identity as a Christian or a Jew or as a black or as white or male, female, this, that—all those things that we label ourselves, that we define ourselves by. Drag is the antithesis of that. It says you are spirit, you are a spiritual being having a human experience. Don’t take the human experience too seriously. Some people are threatened by that, so it’s dangerous. It’s dangerous because if people accepted that message or really took it in, they would have to deconstruct who they are and a lot of people don’t have the processing tools to do that. A lot of people don’t have the guts to do that.

I was struggling with the idea of masculinity and femininity. I really wanted to express myself through clothing and style. Growing up in the hood, it’s not always the easiest thing to do. It’s really painful when you walk into your class in the morning and the whole room is practically laughing and staring at you and calling names. But what kept me going is I just knew there was something beyond it. I don’t even have one high school yearbook. I just knew that entire time that I did’t need any of those people. [I thought,] whatever they’re doing to me now, it’s only going to escalate me. It’s going to make me a better person and I’m going to get out of this high school and I’m going to be the best freak that anybody has ever seen.

It doesn’t really show it on the show, but [Chad] was like my mom. You see what’s on the show, you see forty-two minutes of footage, but outside of the show it was just me and Chad Michaels and Latrice Royale smokin’ a fucking blunt in one hotel room, trying to think up ways to beat out those boring fucking bitches.
