A lot of people just feel really impacted and inspired by drag in ways that I don't think we, as self-absorbed drag queens, think about that often.

I'm going to release whatever feels right and what I think is going to spread a good message about my artistry and what I believe.

I think this is a trait that runs throughout the queer community, the obsession with the hyper-feminine female villains. And we see it in Disney movies and in movies like 'Death Becomes Her,' and in characters like Poison Ivy and Catwoman.

I find a lot of joy from legitimate theater. But Jinkx is my passion project.

I basically can't go to any gay bar in America without getting mobbed, which is fun and tiring.

I've been dressing like a girl my entire life!

I want a computer that's bigger than my TV at home!

I want to be a role model and an advocate for social change.

I used to watch 'Death Becomes Her,' and I knew I wanted to become Meryl Streep.

If you hide, you won't find the eccentric people who will be your best friends.

While I'm out of drag, I'm still extremely effeminate.

I really don't consider myself a man or a woman. I just kind of float in between and that's how I've always felt.

It was like I have always had big dreams for my drag aspirations, and I talked myself into doing 'Drag Race.' I'm like, take a chance.

What I love that has happened for years now with 'Drag Race' is the queens can go on to have any kind of career.

I am only really attracted to people who are very open-minded and embrace and celebrate people who live outside the gender norm.

It's hard to have a fruitful romantic life when I'm never in one place for long.

Christmas used to be my favorite time of year. But as an adult, it's a time of year where it's like, do I have to go through this again?

First, it was a big deal for girls to dress more like guys. Then it was a big deal for straight men to be metereosexuals and care about their appearance in the way that a gay man would. Now we have to take it a step further - men should be able to not wear men's clothes if they don't want to.

I am a transgender identified person.

My long-term goal is to play a drag role or a female role in a Broadway production.

I think my favourite thing about doing conventions is the parents taking their kids to see their favourite drag idols, because open-minded, progressive parents are making such a change in the world right now. The more open-minded these kids are being raised, the more hope I have for the future.

Ever since I was a kid I just thought that women had the better outfits, women had the better hair, women got to wear makeup. I just got jealous of what women got to do onstage. You dress up a man and ultimately it's just a different variation on the same kind of suit. There's a whole wide world of what women wear onstage.

I prefer to be gender fluid or non-gendered and I dress in drag almost every day of my life even if I'm not in my full Jinkx Monsoon persona - I'm the kind of person who does not dress like my assigned gender and I wear makeup every day and sometimes wear wigs as a boy.

You don't know that you're not a solo artist or standup comedian or drag cabaret artist until you try it.
