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.

I had post-traumatic stress from 'Drag Race' a little bit.

You can literally tour all around Australia in two weekends.

I'm a big fan of Stormzy.

I acknowledge that I'm really fortunate to have found pockets of people all through my life who've accepted me.

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.

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.

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.

Being trans means different things to different people. Some people don't take hormones, some people don't have surgery, some people are just happy living in the clothes of their chosen gender.

It's a common misunderstanding, that when a bisexual person is dating someone of the opposite sex that they are now straight, or if they are dating someone of the same sex they are now gay.

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.

I would have hated for my 'Drag Race' moment to have come down to lip syncing a Whitney Houston song.

Drag is more like a license to be what you want. But you don't need drag to do that.

I know when there's lots of stuff racing around in my head it can be hard to sleep and stay asleep. And one of the biggest things that used to keep me awake at night was worrying about my gender and sexuality.

'Fight For Love' is a dancefloor banger all about coming together and fighting for the things we believe in.

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.

There's something problematic with this idea that straight men can be 'turned', and the binary of gay and straight and the lack of knowledge of the Kinsey scale.

There is so much frustration in the heterosexual male community manifesting in different ways, whether it be aggression or sexism or racism. I'm not saying all heterosexual men are that way, but you do see a lot of it.

I'm an atheist, so I don't believe in a heaven or afterlife. I believe that once I die, that's it.

I loved being on 'Drag Race' but I say leave well enough alone.
