Don't take life too seriously and have fun. Don't waste your time on things that your ego will try and convince you are important.

Our ego never wants to die and it will do anything to prolong its life. But the truth is, we are both spirit and ego and you have to have a balance between the two. Your spirit never dies, but the ego is all about beginnings and ends.

What other people think of me is not my business. What I do is what I do. How people see me doesn't change what I decide to do. I don't choose projects so people don't see me as one thing or another. I choose projects that excite me. I think the problem is that people refuse to understand what drag is outside of their own belief system.

What other people think of me is not my business. What I do is what I do. How people see me doesn’t change what I decide to do.

It's a sort of piss-take on culture, because a drag queen is a clown - a parody of our society. It's a sarcastic spoof on culture, which allows us to laugh at ourselves - but in a way that is inclusive of everyone.

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

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