You can't not be happy around penguins. You're unfortunately happy and cold but the happiness makes up for the coldness.

My favorite thing is to have a big dinner with friends and talk about life.

Sexuality is one of the biggest parts of who we are.

I've joked that I would have either become schizophrenic or an actress, but as an actress you can do both.

Even every ray of hope destroyed and not a wish to gild the gloom.

It takes courage to believe the best is yet to come!

I scare people a little bit, so why not? That's what we do as drag queens. We're supposed to be a little intimidating!

The greatest gift you can give anyone is your undivided attention.
