I’d love to be a consultant and help design an offense. That’s my true passion, and I want to find an outlet where I can do that.
When I was a kid, there were no credit cards. Instead, retailers offered layaway plans. My mom would go to a store, such as a furniture outlet, choose the sofa she wanted, and put it on layaway.

It’s your job to find a release and an outlet for the stress and the feelings. Never forget: the crazy stays at home.

I have done quite a few things that I’m not proud of. But now I can equate it to artistry without an outlet. At school, I couldn’t help but colour outside the lines. My passion just caused my reactions to be that much more volatile.
I love being Courtney, but it almost feels like something different to drag for me – it’s a part of me, it’s not a parody, it’s a form of expression for me, a way to give my feminine and masculine sides an outlet.

When you look at facing retirement in your mid-30s, and all of a sudden the outlet for that passion and work ethic goes away, you can’t just sit back in a rocking chair and be retired at 35. I’m not a good enough golfer to play golf every day.
One similarity I see between peers and some of the people who read my books is that comics were definitely an outlet for us.
I go through a lot of depression, and I know other people do, too, but I have an outlet that so many people don’t. If you have that inside of you and can’t get it out, what do you do?

I started my YouTube channel when I was 13. At the time, I was being bullied by a few people who I used to be very close to. I felt very alone and unmotivated. After discovering the beauty community, I decided it would be a great way to express myself and use it as an outlet to be who I am.

I remember kickboxing and traveling the world when I was young. I would go to Japan or Africa, and I would go for the experience. As soon as I got off the plane, we’d go have a good time, party. Fighting was just the outlet of what I was doing there.
