“This requires a level of delusion/egomania usually reserved for popes and drag queens”

“Trying to Enjoy It (Proceed as if You Look Awesome)...This requires a level of delusion/egomania usually reserved for popes and drag queens, but you can do it. It's like being a little kid again, parading around in a nightgown tucked into your underpants, believing it looks terrific. Your "right mind" knows that you look ridiculous in a half-open dress and giant shoes, but you must put yourself back in third grade, slipping on your mom's quilted caftan and drinking cream soda out of a champagne glass while watching The Love Boat. You have never been more glamorous.”

“It's [Los Angeles] mostly full of nonsense and delusion and egomania. They think they'll be young and beautiful forever, even though most of them aren't even young and beautiful now.”

“You're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.”

“Drag queen is a gender like no other, and with practice I'd learned to rise to it.”

“It's a good thing I was born a girl, otherwise I'd be a drag queen.”
