Drag Race' is giving visibility to our community. It's on TV and you can see RuPaul, who is a black, queer, powerful figure who has run this empire for years, and I think that's an amazing thing.

After taking a retreat into the woods of the Russian River Valley to write, reflect, and commune with nature and one another, 'Amethyst Journey' was born. The album is a collection of songs that are a combination of our outlook and inspirations - a response to current issues and the state of our planet.

RuPaul has a very playful outlook on the world. He always looks on the bright side.

I try to keep Alaska fresh by doing laundry and bathing at least once a month.

I care deeply about 'Drag Race' and drag. It's my life and it changed my life.

RuPaul is someone who I really look up to because he's very much a renaissance man.

I love drag so much and it's a huge part of who I am but there's also another side that hasn't really gotten out into the music and I'm excited to show that.

If 'Drag Race' gets an Emmy nomination, I will put on a red glittery face mask over my mouth and I will lip-sync to an Ariana Grande song.

I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings.

I have a very vague surface level awareness of Metallica.

I care about 'RuPaul's Drag Race' a lot. It's given me a career as an artist.

I want to make the world a better place, and I think we can all work together to do that.

My perfect day starts with putting on the teapot. Then I have tea in my favorite 'Golden Girls' mug and watch 'The Daily Show.'

I always used to dress up in little girls' clothes when I was really young. Then I realized that boys weren't supposed to do that, and I got really shy. I didn't do it for many years.

Realness is something in such short supply; you can't believe anything anyone is saying when you turn on the television, and then during the commercials, they are lying to you there also. You can't believe anything, but when you go see a drag show, something real is happening on stage.

I'm not a huge dancer onstage. In fact, I like not moving at all if I don't have to. But even just standing up for any given amount of time in 6-inch heels ends up leaving me feeling like I've been cracked in half like a rag doll after a few shows.

I think that Life Ball is great because we're celebrating life and also raising awareness. That's all we need to keep doing.

I like to take whatever work opportunities I can. I like to work with as many people as I can. I like to show up on time, and I like to have a good time.

I think that my attitude about myself is something that I've been trying to work on - trying to be more positive and just believing in myself more.

If people are laughing at you, you might as well be in on the joke.
