“I’m not sure if I consider myself a drag queen anymore. Maybe years ago! It’s taken on a new face. I do love to dress up, but for the world I have to say I’m an artist, because sometimes I don’t even wear a dress. I just want to sing. With Manfred Thierry Mugler, we went with the concept of ‘Z chromosome’; not he nor she but Z, the last letter of the alphabet. I don’t consider myself X or Y. My job is to entertain. I was engineered to perform, to make babies — my art is my child!” – Joey Arias
