There’s something really crazy about being on a platform this large. It kind of encompasses every emotion, from fear, to excitement, to overwhelming love and empathy, and also some negative things. What’s been the best thing about the Drag Race experience? It’s not just heartbreak or inspiration - it’s both and it’s painful and funny and twisted and gorgeous. I love being an inspiration, but I also want to show real hurt and real life and delve into some more twisted, darker and, hopefully, funnier places, and show that people with illness and disability have a fully rounded life. I would love to use the platform to take my drag to a really disgusting and painful place. We all have incredible track records, but I think I bring a different story. If I could go back, I’d probably just shake myself and slap myself in the face and be like, “Just have some fun.” I don’t know if I’d make a different Snatch Game choice. I think I did the best with what I had and where I was at. I’ve had so many encounters with fans who have told me how much that’s meant to them. Before going in I was like, “How honest do I want to be about the difficult things I’ve had to go through?” Once I got there, it started spilling out and I decided just to go with it. It could have sent me home, but I took the risk and I’m happy I did. It was terrifying to bring something that different to the stage. I wanted to have fun - that was my one rule, and I achieved that and a lot more. I didn’t expect much, and I think that was an advantage for me. This would be a lovely experience without them, but the whole cast has made it powerful and unforgettable. It’s no secret that I’m in love with Kornbread and Angeria. I really want it! I want to go back to England and be, like, “Bitch, I fucking won, you’re welcome!” I know I’m going to do incredible things as a winner, inspire other artists to go for it, and not hold back. I’ve always been overly ambitious, and it’s worked in my favor. I’m going to be on Broadway, I’m going to be in movies. I know in my heart that I’m going to do amazing things. So, I don’t think I would change anything. Seeing myself be underestimated was needed because it helped me switch it up. I think I’d change my belief in myself in the beginning – but then I don’t know if I’d change that because I think I had to see myself hold back and be shy and see the difference when I care less what people think. Would you have done anything differently? As a trained dancer, you train yourself to be perfected and I’m watching myself as a drag queen strip that away and take more risks and give less fucks and enjoy the ride. I’m proud of that, not just because of the execution but because I did something that was a risk. My Freddie Mercury reveal has been talked about a lot.
I’m thankful that I played the cards the way I did and got to show everyone what I’m capable of, even though I might have come across as a demure mouse in the beginning.ĭefinitely some of my stunts. It’s nice to look back and watch myself relax and believe in myself more. I was shy and nervous in the beginning and would fumble around and be awkward in front of Ru. I feel like I had a difficult journey in terms of my personal growth.
