You do a killer Celine Dion impersonation.

I have to share something about that. It's one of my biggest regrets from the show. For the gay pride challenge, I was not creatively on when I was there. We had no less than ten to twenty minutes to start the concept and get the ball rolling. I should have taken that boat, painted it to look like the Titanic and been friggin Celine Dion and thrown the heart at RuPaul's feet. That challenge would have been mine.

Sum up to me your time spent on the show.

This is my experience on RuPaul's drag race: three square meals a day, a challenge and put to bed by 9:30pm. Honey it doesn't get any better than that.

So much was made of the fact that you're an old hat compared to the other girls. Why did you want to take part?

It was a test for me. It was a personal test a) to see if they would accept me and b) could I handle it? What are you made of? You're talking all this for 41 years. Can you go into the gauntlet?

I did great and I'm loving it. I'm so happy I did it. Obviously the opportunities and the doors that it opened for me are unlimited. I'm very grateful and feel very blessed.

What have you learned about yourself?

That I can handle it. That I can handle pretty much anything. I've been in a fabulous relationship for nine years, and that's never an easy thing. It's hard work. So personally I'm very fulfilled. Then on the career side, I did the gauntlet. Whatever happens tonight, it doesn't matter. I've already won in my own way.

Who would win in a cat fight? Bette Davis or Joan Crawford?

Bette Davis. She was just a little more cunning that Joan Crawford. She had a little bit more piss and vinegar. I just think she'd be more quick to pop her in the face.
