Basically, I want the most unnatural look possible.
Bianca Del Rio
We all have things we're ashamed of.
Back in the day, when a man in a wig had to 'lip sync for their life,' they relied on a wig reveal, rose petals or picking up their opponent and twirling them around.
Maybe I'm just nostalgic for the old days when drag was fun, not personal.
Outside of the gay world, I don't know how many people know me.
Sometimes if you're dealing with straight interviewers they're a little more excited if you're in drag: 'Oooh! Aaaah! Eeeee!' But if you're just sitting there out of drag, they think you're just a bitter queen.
Most humor comes from truth. In the end, if I can laugh about it, who cares?
I've never been a dreamer.
I'm clown realness!
I am a walking joke.
In the gay world, and in drag in particular, they love to put you on a pedestal and then two minutes later rip you down.
There's always something that I will always find to do, because I just enjoy working so much. There's always something on the horizon; it really comes down to scheduling and making it all happen.
Well, I'm old enough to remember Carol Burnett, and I would love a variety show type of thing.
In 1996 I was working on a play in New Orleans, and they needed a drag queen. I offered to play the role. That led to guest appearances at bars, which led to regular appearances at bars, which led to hosting. I eventually started working six days a week in bars before moving to N.Y.C.
Before Bianca?? I don't remember that far back! That would've been in my teens. I was working in local theater and opera, doing costumes, hair and makeup.
I mean, there's enough people who have a job for years and are not good at it, so you should be skilled at what you do.
I mean, I'm a drag queen, any excuse to wear a costume means it's going to be a good time.
If you have a beard, I would suggest putting glitter on it, because it will make you look fancy.
These are truly special days we live in - where a clown in a gown can make her very own drag queen revenge-comedy.
It's important for me to get close to Sarah Huckabee Sanders and actually fix her makeup.
I was always a creative child. I also liked to paint and draw. All those years of doing those types of things, I was grateful I had those experiences because it changed my life later on. I know they weren't acceptable for what society assumed a boy should do, but I think its just your passion, it's what you're drawn to.
I generally enjoy talking with the audience - they give you so much. They've usually had a cocktail or two and they are wild, so it creates a fun environment.
I don't take myself too seriously, I try to always encourage people when they come to see me that nothing is really serious.
I never rule anything out, you never know what's to come.
Well honestly, I do stay away from being political, especially about Trump. It's just one of those things.
Oh I ain't going anywhere. You can't get rid of me.
You gotta have moisturizer cause I'm old. You gotta have that. You know for every glass of wine I drink I get drier and drier so I have to keep my self well moisturized.
Obviously I have to use makeup remover, which I have my own makeup remover called Bianca Remover, which you can buy online.
I'm a man in a wig who is an entertainer, I'm not a role model.
Even if you take someone like RuPaul, no matter what she does, people are still going to find something they don't like about her. You just can't win.
It's very awkward to watch yourself on TV because I hate the sound of my voice. It's those moments where you're like, 'I do that?'
I've done drag many, many years, but TV is a huge, powerful thing.
To get the opportunities I've gotten has been insane. But also interesting. With the Starbucks commercial, I found it fascinating that once it was on the Internet, tons of people, especially gay people, were like, 'Why did they choose drag queens to showcase our community?'
When Logo offered me my own comedy special, I said, 'Let's make it a double.'
You know you've come full circle when you're working with Charo.
The average person assumes that you're a drag queen so you're a nelly and you want to be a girl, which is not the case, and I think Drag Race has changed that for us.
Everybody does drag for different reasons.
Some drag queens want to get into drag and be sexy and date boys... that ain't me.
I try to find humor in everything.
I mean I'm one of those people that laugh at a funeral. And it's always the worst time, but there's always a place to find something funny.
Oh my God, of course there's everybody in the world that I would love to work with. I mean I got to meet and work with Joan Rivers, who was my absolute favorite. Sadly I didn't get to meet Mr. Don Rickles before he passed.
Chris Rock, I think is pretty brilliant, and Amy Schumer's fabulous.
I wish I had a sad story, but I don't. Too many gay people have a sad story.
I see the people who teased me on Facebook, and they look like hell.
I'm fortunate that, in real life, I love what I do and get to celebrate it.
Everything is not serious. If you don't like what I'm saying, change the channel - don't look at me, don't buy a ticket. You either get it or you don't, and it's fascinating because it's usually intelligent people with a sense of humor who get it.
One of my favourites on Instagram is @dublin_zoetrope. He does these musical theatre/Meryl Streep/Glenn Close memes that are truly hysterical. He'll take a regular photo of them and create an entire storyline, and it makes me cackle out loud.
No one can play crazy like Glenn Close. I loved her in 'Fatal Attraction,' '101 Dalmatians,' 'The World According to Garp' - all of those are great.
Amsterdam's my favourite place to visit.
I live in L.A. so I don't get to see much theatre anymore. They have a lot of touring shows but it's not like New York - I lived in New York for 15 years and you can walk out on the street and there's something to see.
