The truth is - most things are probably gonna fail. But my failures bring me to the next thing. So in that regard, nothing's a failure, it's a continuation.

I love Superman. Because he represents the hero with 1,000 faces. And the potential that lies in every human on this planet.

Even when I was down, I treated myself as a star and eventually the world would catch up.

Sacrifices have to be made if you want to make a dent in the world, and that's what I started out to do - to make a dent in pop culture.

I love David Bowie and Cher and Diana Ross. I wanted to follow in their footsteps. So I set out to do that in a rock-'n'-roll band in Atlanta, Georgia. That led me to nightclubs and to the sort of Andy Warhol experience of creating a personality.

Through my observations, it became clear that most of society's rules and customs are rooted in fear and superstition!

We are all illusionists and that's why we are attracted to drag queens. This whole world is an illusion. It's not real.
