I had mentors, growing up in gay life - older gay men who told me about our history and the history of art and culture - but somehow, the younger generation missed out on that synergy.

I always did what I thought was interesting. I always just did what caught my fantasy. Looking like a woman, that was never the criteria for me. It was always to do drag. And drag is not gender-specific. Drag is just drag. It's exaggeration.

Usually, people who don't have a broad perspective see gay people as servants - as people who are there to make them look good.

Wyoming - God bless you in Wyoming - it's very boring, and it's the most isolated place on Earth.
