It's not just putting on a little bit of makeup and putting on a dress. Some drag queens duct tape their heads, some drag queens are bound and strapped and pulled in every which direction. To be in drag is no small endeavor.

Drag really isn't just about exaggerating and celebrating femininity. Some drag queens want to look like monsters, some drag queens want to look like hot dogs. Really what it is is just dipping your toes in all the swimming pools of identity and allowing yourself. Because society really tries to compartmentalize humans in a certain way.

My favorite drag queens are Tammie Brown and Katya, so I like my drag queens a little left of sanity.

Trixie Mattel

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.

Some drag queens want to get into drag and be sexy and date boys... that ain't me.

Bianca Del Rio

Drag is pastiche and parody and satire. Drag queens are never meant to be stars. We make fun of stars. Drag queens are the people that 'point' at the star.

Trixie Mattel

I always say that drag queens are like an exaggeration of women, and I'm like an exaggeration of drag queens. People ask, 'Why do you do your makeup so differently?' and I always say, 'Well, in a subversive art form, ask yourself why so many drag queens do their makeup exactly the same.' If you can do anything, why does everybody do the same thing?

There's drag queens who lip sync brilliantly. There's drag queens who sing live brilliantly - none of those are me.

Bianca Del Rio

You can have a beard and do drag; you can be a woman and do drag. I've met faux queens. I've met kings. Anything that you want can be considered drag in the context.

Manila Luzon

Drag queens are not pathetic creatures. Drag queens are fabulous and fun.

Bianca Del Rio

The inspiration of my drag is the history of drag, the long tradition of drag queens being at the forefront of queer activism. That informs my drag style, and in a sense, that is the direction we need to go in the future.

When I was on 'Drag Race,' it felt like a serious competition going on between drag queens... and then Katya and I were also there.

Trixie Mattel

People pull from drag culture because drag artists are - it's the ultimate art form and it's the last underdog art form. I mean, even clowns have college, you know what I mean? Drag queens, you have to learn drag from another drag queen.

Bob the Drag Queen

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?

I want to see some queer politicians, some drag queens and drag kings running for office and shifting the way that policy is made as well.

Sasha Velour

Being famous was extremely disappointing for me. When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag.
