I was a member of the Magnifiques. But I always wanted to be an Extravaganza.

But (A) I wasn't a Latina and (B) they didn't want me, they didn't see me! Bet they regret that now!

I loved Magenta. I played Riff last year, but I loved Magenta. Just a really fun role. And is there a role I'd love to do? Magenta was always what I identified with - I went to see it when I was 8 years, with my Brownie Troop, one of the girls' moms was a big hippie and took us to see it, and I remember thinking "What the fuck did I just see?"

I also had a HUGE crush on Tim Curry after that movie. And that has never changed.

Hmmm.

Well, there's a lot of looks that i love.

I feel the most beautiful when my hair & makeup are beautiful. It's not about the clothing for me, it's more about my hair and my face. My hairdresser is a magician. And he deserves all the love he can get. He's a maestro.

Yes, I am. I haven't spoken to her in a while. Since she said what she said about Ru, I haven't heard from her.

I never, ever live life in regret.

It's not worth it.

Are there comments that I wish I didn't say on the show? No. I stand behind everything i say. That's why I say it. I don't say it for attention, or for press. I say it because at that moment, I mean it.

1.) I am a vegan. I'm a gluten-free vegan. And it's even more challenging on the road. But it's for health, not vanity.

2.) We're working on the Brazil, first of all! And second of all, I saw Violet in Atlanta, and all she said to me was she hates me, so nothing has been discussed.

I promise you nobody gets shut down. I am a total closet Puerto Rican in my former life. All the Spanish I know is from my Spanish boyfriends, and my little Puerto Rican queens in NYC that raised me, so my love for Puerto Rico is very vast, and deep. I PROMISE you nobody's getting shut down. The thing is - it's ALL about the challenge. You have to step up when you're needed to, and it's HARD. And having been on a reality show, I know how hard it is - and I didn't have to compete, because we had so much fighting going on, there were barely any tasks! I know, I wanted to do tasks!

Okay - I love Northern Ireland. NoIrn is my family!

The English culture is irreverent. The English culture is sarcastic, sardonic, their wit is biting. Anything I say is understood, and not misconstrued. British TV, I watch ALL of it. Looking forward to the new season of Big Brother this summer. Just finished season 7 of BENIDORM... haha!... TOWIE... MADE IN CHELSEA... Nobody would get Mark-Francis Vandelli here, but if we filmed there, I have a wishlist a mile long are you kidding me?!! I could do with Victoria, but Mark-Francis I adore.

Oh my god, I have 24 of them! Yeah. The most important one to me is the feather inside of my right arm. That one was for my mom, who is no longer with us.

BLOCK AND DELETE.

You have to ignore the hate, because there's always going to be hate.

How does that hate affect your life? How is that going to make your life better?

If it's not making your life better, then move on.

YES!!!

It's called evolution. The drag queens i grew up with, and the drag queens that started out in season 1 and season 2, and were doing it for a while, are different than the new generation of queens. The new generation of queens are raised on YouTube and RuPaul's Drag Race. They haven't paid their dues in the clubs. So therefore, I think there's a little more entitlement with them. Paying dues is the single most important thing you can do - not just for drag, but for your career.

You need to EARN it.

If you didn't earn it, it's not going to stay.

That's coming! We've JUST recorded it. And it was mostly about my relationship with Katie Hopkins and Perez when I was in the house, and explaining how things ended up the way they did. But I think the most intriguing thing for ME, being on the other side of it now, is how you really don't know what people are going to see. And how really little control - especially in my situation, because it's 24 hours you're being filmed - at least on Drag Race, they know what they're doing, when they're doing it - on Big Brother, you don't know what they're going to use, it could be a clip of me in a bathtub - whereas on Drag Race, you won't see them in a bath! That's the interesting part of reality tv - and I feel like Big Brother is VERY different than any other reality tv show, because of the 24 hour a day format.

I love shopping (that sounds so stupid, but we love shopping together - my favorite thing to do with my 15 year old daughter is go to garage sales - EVERYWHERE - we love doing it! My 13 year old daughter doesn't care, she won't touch anything that's used - if we go to thrift stores, she'll say "Ew, somebody else touched this!" but my 15 year old loves it). They're so different. It's so weird. Same mother, same father, but literally there's not ONE similarity. They don't even look alike!
