People have gone down this spiral of cancel culture and the idea that everything is offensive.

Things in life just happen and then you make the best of the situation and you keep moving.
I am a grown man who is an entertainer with a specific type of humour and if you don't like it, that's okay, I owe you nothing.
If you have a beard, I would suggest putting glitter on it, because it will make you look fancy.
It's important for me to get close to Sarah Huckabee Sanders and actually fix her makeup.
I don't know what I want, but I know what I don't want, which has worked out well for me.
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.
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'm a man in a wig who is an entertainer, I'm not a role model.
I'm not going to do an album. There's enough horrible drag queens singing - especially when they do that spoken word over music, 'I'm fierce! I'm fierce!'
I've done drag many, many years, but TV is a huge, powerful thing.
I don't dream. I'm not a person who makes a list of things that need to happen in my life. It just evolves, and you roll with the punches.
As a drag queen, you can pick your hair and I've made some horrible choices.
Dr. Phil is a fat, loud blowhard with a Texas twang and male-pattern baldness.
Everyone wants to perform at Wembley Arena. It's a mecca.
Amsterdam's my favourite place to visit.
There are friends of mine that I've known for years who didn't like my brand of humor, but once I was on 'Drag Race,' they loved it.
Chris Rock, I think is pretty brilliant, and Amy Schumer's fabulous.
I always say New Orleans is my heart. It's where I'm from. I go back, and I have a huge fondness for it.
We live in a country that elected Trump. Clearly you have a sense of humor.
If someone decides to be in the front row anytime I'm doing a show, they know what they're getting into.
Basically, I want the most unnatural look possible.
I'm clown realness!
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.
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.
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.
Obviously I have to use makeup remover, which I have my own makeup remover called Bianca Remover, which you can buy online.
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.
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 wish I had a sad story, but I don't. Too many gay people have a sad story.
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.
What's funny is funny. It doesn't matter what expense it's at. There are people who don't like that and I understand.
There's always something that you go 'I should've done this better, I would've done that.'
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.
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.
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 laugh at myself on a daily basis.
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.
Everything that I was ridiculed for as a child - being too feminine or wearing a dress - has made my life fabulous now.
I am a walking joke.
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.
Have you walked around in heels? That's a workout. But like all good gay men, I have a gym membership.
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.
Everything is not a political statement. Everything is not about being an advocate. Sometimes it's just pure entertainment.
With 'Drag Race' in particular, I'd seen seasons four and five, before mine. So I wasn't a huge, knew every word, knew every queen type of fan. There are some contestants who have done this show who know everything about it.
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.
Most humor comes from truth. In the end, if I can laugh about it, who cares?
I'll be the first to thank RuPaul, who gave me the money and let me out into the world. RuPaul is an excellent role model. I'm talking about someone who has worked hard in the business for quite some time. RuPaul put gay men in wigs into people's living rooms. RuPaul is the reason that we're not threatening.
Put it this way: I can wear three wigs at one time and three pairs of eyelashes. That's some strength there. And I roll my eyes extensively, so they get a good workout on a daily basis.
When Logo offered me my own comedy special, I said, 'Let's make it a double.'
