Quite often I can be in a bookshop, standing beneath a great big picture of myself and paying for a book with a credit card clearly marked John Grisham, yet no one recognises me. I often say I’m a famous author in a country where no one reads. John Grisham Read Quote
I’m definitely going to work on some techniques that hopefully will throw my opponents off and really allow me to open up whenever I’m out there fighting. Stephen Thompson Read Quote

I think if you say that art and politics, or religion and politics, mustn’t mix, don’t mix, that is itself a political statement.

I think drag helps move us in the direction of loosening up the man/woman binary. The idea that you’re one, or the other, it’s false. The more that as a society we become a little looser, more open to laugh about gender, that’s the direction the world needs to go in. Alaska Read Quote
Seriously, I don’t find not being able to hear an obstacle or a boundary. For me, and for many of us, it is an advantage, and it’s a part of my identity, in fact. It’s a huge part of who I am. Nyle DiMarco Read Quote
Everyone has ways of trying to find a way to memorise our past. There’s something very poetic about that. Saskia de Brauw Read Quote
I remember being so nervous to tell my little sister. I was like, ‘I have something to tell you… I’m gay.’ And she was like, ‘Cool, do you have a boyfriend?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah,’ and she was like, ‘When do I get to meet him?’ I was, like, ‘Really? It’s that simple?’ So it went really well. Frankie Grande Read Quote
You can be assured that I need no one’s guidance in anything concerning propriety. Marie Antoinette Read Quote
