I think for me, as far as cooking, some of it came naturally just from watching my dad. My dad was more of the cook than my mom was, so it's just handing it down from generation to generation. I just love to cook and have fun. And as performers, we love to cook, and we love to entertain people.

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.
