Will you not covet such power as this, and seek such throne as this, and be no more housewives, but queens? There is no putting by that crown; queens you must always be; queens to your lovers; queens to your husbands and sons; queens of higher mystery to the world beyond. . . . But alas! you are too often idle and careless queens, grasping at majesty in the least things, while you abdicate it in the greatest.

John Ruskin

A lot of people still have the idea that drag goes from one end of the gender spectrum to the other end of the gender spectrum, and they expect drag queens to be masculine out of drag and hyper-feminine in drag. I think that portrays a lot of binary thinking and, ultimately, a lot of misogyny.

I hate - I hate - queens coming on and doing boy drag on 'RuPaul's Drag Race' because I feel like it's not edgy; it's not different. You can see it anywhere.

Michelle Visage

There's a lot of 'Game of Thrones' stuff used in a lot of pastiches. I don't know if I've seen a Lego 'Game of Thrones' yet, but there must be one. And there's an animated thing that's been going on for quite some time, and Littlefinger is a newsreader in it, and it's great.

'Drag Race' has made a lot more people into fans of drag, and that's allowed local communities to grow and flourish, but it's up to individual queens to share the spotlight with their communities. I definitely want to be one of the people who does that.

Sasha Velour

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.

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?

Jinkx Monsoon

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.

Jinkx Monsoon

The process of going on 'Drag Race' is, in my opinion, more than a fiscal investment. It's cultural. It's the 'Game of Thrones' of reality TV.

Bob the Drag Queen

People are like, 'What's Game of Thrones about?' I'm like, 'It's in the title.' For real, this is a game for the Iron Throne. No matter what character you are, you're sucked into that at some point.

Maisie Williams

The audience of 'Drag Race' and the fans of drag queens are often very surprising.

Sasha Velour

There are so many drag queens on 'Drag Race.' In order to have a fulfilling career, you have to do well on the show. You have to make yourself stand out.

Violet Chachki

You get a lot of respect for 'Game of Thrones,' and it was a lot of fun to play, but it didn't help my career a lot because Khal Drago doesn't even speak English.

Jason Momoa

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?
