• When I walked in on 'Drag Race' and saw Katya, I had no idea she was gonna be funny, because she was stunning.

• RuPaul might not broadcast herself as political, but I think she tries to make moves in American history by catching more flies with honey than vinegar. Rather than telling people to vote, maybe she'll do a mini-challenge on voting. She understands that you can influence people in a good way without preaching.
