On ‘Dawson’s Creek,’ those kids were supposed to be outsider kids – you know, wrong-side-of-the-track kids, weirdo kids. And I just felt like there’s no universe out there where Katie Holmes isn’t the prom queen, hottest girl in school.
I grew up on Queen, ABBA and at the same time, Nityasree.
Once you’re in the military, she means a lot more to you than just a grandmother. She is the queen. And then you suddenly, it’s like start realizing, you know, wow, this is quite a big deal. And then you get goose bumps and then the rest of it.
People say to me, ‘What do you think your mother would think about this new world with Instagram?’ And I pause and I just say, ‘Well, she really was the queen of Instagram because she was more photographed than anyone else.’
Let’s be real, I’m basically a drag queen.
For those of you looking for your action-packed read, check out ‘Red Queen’ by Victoria Aveyard and ‘Vengeance Road’ by Erin Bowman. One’s a fantasy and one’s a Western, but they both feature strong leading ladies and some harrowing twists!
That openness to experimentation in Seattle is how I learned a drag queen doesn’t have to just be in her pageant gear and lip syncing to top 40. Drag can be off-the-wall, ridiculous, profound.

When I was crowned the college queen, I got a lot of modeling offers and I did a fair amount of work in Delhi.

I guess you can tease me about being a drama queen, because that did heighten the drama.
I have an amazing 1930s dress I picked up in Toronto at Cabaret on Queen West. It’s a red knee-length tea dress, and it’s absolutely beautiful. It makes me happy every time I put it on.
Some day, I’d like to be known as the queen of containerboards.
It’s a sad thing to contemplate, but I’m the last surviving cast member of ‘The African Queen.’
I think Freddie Mercury is probably the best of all time in terms of a rock voice. There was a vulnerability to it, his technical ability was amazing, and so much of his personality would come out through his voice. I’m not even a guy to buy Queen records, really, and I still think he’s one of the best.
Being an indie queen, people think I have all these choices. Like I’ve just been sitting around waiting for the best indie film that I deem acceptable.
In Barcelona, things seem so different. For example, I know that it’s traditionally the least Spanish city, but you’d never know they had a monarchy, coming here as a tourist – as opposed to the U.K., where the Queen is probably the best-known animal, vegetable and/or mineral going when it comes to overseas visitors.
I grew up listening to Queen. They were no stranger to throwing in the unexpected and something a little more dramatic.
People regularly practice playing a sport like golf or basketball – but few people think about ‘practicing being successful.’ I had practiced meeting the Queen of England – what I would wear, how I would stand, the handshake – so when I did meet her, I was comfortable – for I had practiced the moment for years.
As the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, the Queen feels she cannot be seen to smile in church – and her natural reaction is to combat mirth by putting on a stern face.
Queen Victoria was loyal and true to the Pope; that is what I was told, and so is Edward the Seventh loyal and true, but he has got something contrary in his body.
I believe the Australian people have an affection for the Queen, and so they should have.
The only thing I want to say is, I know I’m not Einstein, but I’m not the queen of the imbeciles either.
To even be called the ‘teen queen’ is crazy.
Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness.
The average person assumes that you’re a drag queen so you’re a nelly and you want to be a girl, which is not the case, and I think Drag Race has changed that for us.
I love the Queen. I love the whole fairy tale of the Royal Family; the Crown Jewels; Buckingham Palace; the tourist attraction. But really, is that what we’ve got a monarchy for? It’s just for tourism, and then you survive and live off taxpayers’ money?
If ‘Queen Of Denmark’ was about my childhood, then ‘Pale Green Ghosts’ is definitely about my adolescence, and that period was completely dominated by electronic music.
I’m completely anti-establishment; the only thing I like about the Queen are her scarves and her jewels.
I could sit here and say, ‘What would have happened if I hadn’t made that crazy television show, if I hadn’t made those crazy movies?’ Well, I’d be back in Canada working at Dairy Queen.
I definitely believe in type casting. If you’re a girl with bleach-blonde hair, everyone automatically thinks ‘prom queen, cheerleader.’ It just happens.
In 1985 I graduated from Deshler High School in Tuscumbia, Alabama, and I was their first African American homecoming queen. You would have thought I won Miss America or Miss U.S.A. (wink), because of my excitement.
There are so many fabulous heroine-oriented projects happening in Mumbai, whether it’s ‘Kahaani,’ ‘Bobby Jasoos,’ ‘Queen’ or ‘Mardaani.’
Italy to me is like the mean mother. Whatever I do, it’s never good enough. People say I’m the queen of Cannes, but in Italy I get turned down for work.
We had thousands of people outside Queen’s Park Oval in Trinidad. We would wait to get inside to watch a Test at six o’clock in the morning.
I am a queen, and I demand to be treated like a queen.
I guess my favourite Disney film was ‘Snow White,’ which has a really dark moment when the evil queen turns into a witch and makes the poison apple. It was terrifying in the same way ‘Maleficent’ is.
I think that Vegas is one of the wildest places I’ve ever been to. You can look to your left and there’s a drag queen getting married by Elvis, to the right there is some old bird sticking quarters into a slot machine for hours.
AC/DC, Def Leppard, Alice Cooper – I learned stories of all these guys. That’s when I fell in love with Queen, which is one of my favorite bands of all time… I started paying attention to what made music good. I started paying attention to why I liked it.
I’m just a boy with a dream from Queens. Just a queen from Queens.
The futures and ultimate fates of the characters in The Snow Queen are profoundly changed by choices made in their own minds or hearts, as well as choices unexpectedly forced on them by things beyond their control.
I hope people realize that drag queens and queer people, we’re not just archetypes and stereotypes. We’re human beings with a lot to share. And a drag queen doesn’t have to just be a clown, she can also be like a cooking TV personality or like a DJ, or a talk-show host. We should be able to infiltrate TV everywhere.
Basically, we had the idea of doing this production of ‘Steel Magnolias,’ and we spoke to Queen Latifah about it, and she got excited.
Yes, I was called the ‘Bandit Queen’ at my home and in the neighbourhood.
Especially as a title-holder, you can do great things with charities, because people suddenly care about what you have to say. I wanted to make a difference, which is why I created the Queen of the Universe pageant. I want to change all of those stigmas in the beauty pageant world.
My dad was a proper old English gentleman, even though he was from the Caribbean. He used to stand up and salute during the Queen’s Christmas speech.
Telugu cinema can really spoil you. They treat you like a queen. As soon as you get down from your van, they will all stand up, and they won’t sit till you have passed by. I love that attention and miss that.
My father always told me, ‘Before you become a queen, you have to learn how to take care of your own things.’ So I knew how to do all of it, but I had never really done it on a daily basis. So I was cleaning houses, and I started working restaurants.
There is a deep affection in Australia for the Queen. And I mean the Queen’s been the Queen ever since I was born. I mean she is part of the firmament of Australia’s sort of national life; there’s a deep respect for her role.
The Queen made a great fuss of her future daughter-in-law, trying to demonstrate that she was interested in Diana for her personal qualities and not just for what she represented, as the wife of the heir to the throne.
When I started ‘Rent,’ I already had an idea of how I was going to portray Angel, simply because of who I was at that moment. Everyone always perceived her as a drag queen, but the reality of the matter is that I truly believe she was a trans woman.
The Queen is most anxious to enlist everyone in checking this mad, wicked folly of ‘Women’s Rights’. It is a subject which makes the Queen so furious that she cannot contain herself.
The Royal Family are not like you and me. They live in houses so big that you can walk round all day and never need to meet your spouse. The Queen and Prince Philip have never shared a bedroom in their lives. They don’t even have breakfast together.
I’m a carb queen. I’ll always order macaroni and cheese, but I don’t want it to be fancy. I want it to be as close to Kraft Services as it can possibly get!
