QUOTES BY Jinkx Monsoon


We should not be assuming anything for anyone else's gender, because gender is defined by the individual.

I really like women who are able to be classy and poised and really well put together when the time is right, but also be complete clowns.

I hope people realize that drag queens and queer people, we're not just archetypes and stereotypes. We're human beings with a lot to share. And a drag queen doesn't have to just be a clown, she can also be like a cooking TV personality or like a DJ, or a talk-show host. We should be able to infiltrate TV everywhere.

I like to write my shows coming up with the stupidest things I can think of then finding a way I can incorporate a running theme or an underlying message that takes a stupid idea and gives it something worth watching.

The more you embrace the weird crazy things about you, the more you find your tribe.

I started drag at 15 years old.

Gwyneth Paltrow - she always looks like she's about to cry.

There's an old guard of drag, like the queens who got as big as they could possibly get before there was a TV show dedicated to drag queens.

In the gay community there are not very many Jewish drag queens. I've always found that funny because there are a lot of Jewish gay people out there, so why aren't there more Jewish drag queens?
