I know you had a late night!Incredible!
On top of the world!
[Laughs]I had a great run this season!

I had so many wins and I have amazing fans.
So yeah, I won.
But whats this I see on your Instagram that Trixie and Shangela texted you?
They were very sweet.
How do you feel about Aquaria winning?
Do you think it was the right choice?Of course, it is.
Watching the whole season, she delivered, delivered, and delivered some more.
She wonSnatch Gameof all things, which nobody expected from Aquaria.
Shes absolutely deserving of the title!
Were you constantly working against that this season, subverting peoples expectations?Yeah!
I lip-synched six times in a row this season, including the finale.
When you lip-synch six times in a row, youre bound to do a few things the same.
So I was conscious of that during the finale.
Because youve admitted that you think people dont feel that you deserved your spot in the top four.Oh yeah.
I feel like I definitely had to work against that narrative.
I had to fight that the whole season.
I dont want to say I worked harder than anybody else.
I think I had to prove my worth when the spotlight came up.
But now, what Im doing is being respectful of other people in the room.
I dont like stepping in front of people and taking the spotlight away from other people.
I like waiting for the spotlight to be given to me.
And when I get home I have my own camera and my own space, and Im in control.
Im not stepping on anyones toes or speaking over someone else.
The misconception is that Im being shady or Im just doing it for social media.
No, Im just being very respectful of other people in the room when its more than just me.
That must have made it hard to pick Asia to lip-synch against then.
Why did you pick her?There really was no strategy behind it.
They even showed me thinking a little bit on the episode.
Of course, it was edited down a little bit.
It took me a lot longer in person to make that decision because I didnt know what to do.
The whole theater and RuPaul were just staring at me waiting to give an answer.
So I honestly just said a name and stood aside to keep the show going.
Is it weird to ask if youre glad that you ultimately picked Asia?
Because youdidwin.I never want to be the one responsible for sending girls home.
So when did you realize Asia had unleashed real butterflies?
You looked so shocked when the synch was over.I had no idea what happened.
I thought they were pieces of her outfit because she had butterflies on her dress.
So I thought pieces of her dress had come off!
Well, now that moment is aDrag Racememe.
Thats a good consolation prize, I guess!I guess thats fair!
I had no clue what happened until the very end.
Thats an important conversation because a lot of introverts feel like they arent enough.
Theres a lot of self-doubt happening.
It keeps people from doing things in life because theyre scared of what the outcome might be.
Its important to talk about because introverts miss out on a lot of opportunities because theyre scared of failure.
