I have watched every episode of 'RuPaul's Drag Race'... I know a bizarre amount of drag queens now.

I think that's what happens when drag starts to go mainstream: All of a sudden, you're watching 'The View' and there are three drag queens on there and it's not a joke. Yes, we're here, we're queer and you better deal with it. 'Cause we ain't going nowhere.

If you can do anything, why does everybody do the same thing?
