Do you feel like you were fairly portrayed?

We all know Logo likes to cut and paste some shit. I gave them the material; they can do what they want with it. But they didn't show enough of me being kind, helpful and sweet. I've met so many people and the one thing they say is that I'm nothing like I'm on TV. There's more to be than being a bitch.

Did you go into the season wanting to stir shit up?

No, I went into the season wanting to win. And so when people would challenge me, I don't like it. I've always been raised to not let people step on my toes. If that means that I have to be a bitch to get to the top, then so be it.

The show wrapped last summer, giving you a lot of time to reflect. Is there anything you would have done differently in retrospect?

Not at all. I don't live and regret. What's done is done. I think the way that I was so competitive and my attitude got me to where I was. I've always been known to be a fighter, and I will continue to be that way.

Who have you remained close with since wrapping the show?

Actually I'm friends with everybody! Which is funny, because like I said, during the competition we were there to compete, and now we can the best of buds. I love everybody. Well all keep in touch via our cell phones.

Has RuPaul been accessible since the cameras stopped rolling?

Luckily I've done a lot of gigs with her, so I've seen her a lot. But it's not like she comes out to my shows or anything.

She's like the Wizard of Oz of drag.

[Laughs] I have to click my heels to get her there. When she is there, she's always nice and still very helpful. She genuinely cares about all the girls.

Is you could star in a biopic of anyone's life, who would you choose and why?

I want to do mine. My childhood is a good juicy one. It would be a box office hit. People always tell me I look like Robert Downey Jr.

If he was in the film, who would he play?

My lover.

So you'd be essentially loving yourself.

Yeah [laughs]. I'd get to show my serious acting abilities.

So you see yourself as an actor like Willam?

No I don't play ticked off tranny number four to the right. But it's hot here, so my beard's showing like Willam's.

    @peterknegt thinks that people who don't have sex are absurd. That's because he is a gay man who can't say no.
