“But also, I think I need a big ego check.”

“I’d love to be humbled,” she continues.

I’ve never had this amount of money, and I honestly don’t know what to do.
Even though I should go out to an expensive dinner, I’ll probably go to Chipotle after this.
Are you going to get that tattoo ofKornbread’s ankleon your ass?

I’ll do anything if I’ve got enough tequila in my body.
That’s on you.
If you might get me drunk enough, I’ll do it, baby.

We can’t ignore the history that was made tonight.
You’re the first trans winner of a regular season of AmericanDrag Race.
It feels amazing to me because this season broke so many boundaries and had so many firsts.
You’ve opened up in the past about the struggle you went through coming into your identity.
Yeah, I think so.
Has Yvie texted or called you yet?
Bitch, I haven’t even looked at my phone.
What was that experience like, and did he like it?
One of the things I’ve admired about you is your candor in discussing anything and everything.
You shift from hilarious and pointed comedic things to talking about real trauma and struggles.
Why does drag need to be weird or monstrous, for you?
Drag has to be weird and monstrous because life is weird and monstrous.
I loved watching you play your talents close to your chest and bring them out in a strategic way.
Did you go in knowing that’s what you wanted to do?
I knew my style of drag would be underestimated.
How did you feel about the Wiwwl Piwwl name?
Bitch, I love it.
More screen time for me, my name is in more people’s mouths, more money, next!
Both of your finale performances mastered the art of the perfect reveal.
Each time you did something, it was a genuine surprise as to what was underneath.
Tell me about the concept and execution of both.
I had the idea to do the multi-head look a while back.
I’d wanted to do a three-headed hydra monster for a long time.
This was the perfect opportunity.
That’s what each head represented even the crotch one.
I thought it would be a fabulous reveal for the Main Stage.
For the pant reveal, I love to play with proportion, size, psychedelics.
I’m so happy they were successful.
We’re 14 seasons in, and your reveals have got to be unexpected, the wayRoxxxy Andrewsintended.
Tell me about the idea for the story you told in “I Hate People.”
I wanted to do something left-field.
The other girls go right, I want to go left.
I wanted a song that was true, and that is that I hate people.
They really bother me.
I wish it could just be me alone and my Beanie Babies.
Are there any interesting stories about how these looks came together?
Those faces were molded from my face before I got a little bit of cheek fillers.
So the cheeks are a little bit more full on mine and not on the plaster ones.
That pant and jacket that was inspired by a sewing book that I saw on Instagram.
They both just kind of fell into my lap at the right times.
Who did you work with?
Do you have an inkling of where you want your career to go from here?
Have you envisioned what this looks like in two or three years?
That’s a big question, and I honestly don’t know the answer.
I kind of want my art to get more disgusting and dirty and more fun.
Is there anything else that you want to say?
