The gap between the committed and the indifferent is a Sahara whose faint trails, followed by the mind’s eye only, fade out in sand.
Man can be in Sahara desert – but I’m still going to wear the jacket.
For me, it depends only on the script, the part I’m doing, and the people around me. It could be in Greenland or the Sahara. I don’t care.
I found out that there was this project called the ‘Great Green Wall’ where they wanted to plant trees across the Sahara desert, and the idea was born that I wanted to create a support structure for that initiative.
I became part of a drag family, which is where I got part of my last name, Davenport, from. I got the name Sahara from one of my favorite performers at that time, Sierra. I was like, ‘I’m black, so I should be the African one, Sahara.’
I did a film once in the Sahara. It was pretty awe-inspiring. I remember sitting up on the roof of our hotel, watching the sun go down, and all around me, for 360 degrees, was nothing but sand. It took your breath away but also made you feel tiny.
I don’t know, maybe Australian humour isn’t supposed to be funny. It’s as dry as the Sahara, and I think people miss that.
Sahara Shree has put a lot of faith in me and I’m hoping to live up to his confidence.
The Sahara is Africa’s great divide.
I would be a giraffe because I just want to experience what a sore throat and being a giraffe feels like. It would be really uncomfortable walking around in the Sahara and being like, ‘I really need, like, 15 lozenges for my giraffe body.’
Sudan has been an experiment that resonated across Africa: if we, the largest country on the continent, reaching from the Sahara to the Congo, bridging religions, cultures and a multitude of ethnicities, were able to construct a prosperous and peaceful state from our diverse citizenry, so too could the rest of Africa.
When you’re doing a deal with someone in the southern Sahara, it’s a very different way of doing business than in London. You can’t sign them in the usual way because they’d end up getting ripped off, which would defeat the object of setting up a label like this.
At the Sahara, the seats are banked and most of the audience is looking down at the stage. Everybody in the business knows: Up for singers, down for comics. The people want to idealize a singer. They want to feel superior to a comic. You’re trying to make them laugh. They can’t laugh at someone they’re looking up to.
When I was little, I went to the Sahara desert and met an older woman with beautiful earrings that came all the way down to her stomach. She told me, ‘For us Tuareg, jewelry is not meant for decoration. It absorbs negative energy that comes your way.’ So think twice when you buy a vintage ring!
I have a great map of the Tibesti Mountains in the southern Sahara or Northern Chad. It’s a dream of mine to go there, but it’s such a volatile area, you have to be prudent.

If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there’d be a shortage of sand.
I’ve been saying I really want to get a 1992 Jeep Sahara, and I’m going to paint it so it looks like the ‘Jurassic Park’ Jeep. I’ve actually seen a guy who did have a Jeep Sahara, and he did make it look like the ‘Jurassic Park’ Jeep. I gave him a thumbs up and said, ‘You’re awesome!’
I sing really well, my friends say. I don’t like my voice, but I sang on stage during the Sahara awards a few years ago, so I don’t mind singing.
Antoine and Sahara Davenport were really able to help me learn about drag. We really fed off each other. Together, we just clicked. We were both part of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race,’ so we both got to go through this experience together.
When I played the Sahara Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve, I got to bring Wiley, my 85-pound black lab. He’s responsible for my favorite New Year’s memory of all: At the end of the show, he ran onstage and then out across all the tables in the showroom, sending champagne glasses and gamblers flying.
I would pretend to be a dark-skinned princess in the Sahara Desert or one of the Bantu women living in the Congo… imagining I was a different person living in a different place was one of the few ways… that I could escape the oppressive environment I was raised in.
