Who have been some of your most noteworthy discoveries? Sharon Needles, Raja, Chad Michaels, Raven, Pandora Box, JuJubee, Manila Luzon, Willam, and Latrice Royale.

What are the most rewarding aspects of your job, and what are the most difficult? The most rewarding part is introducing these brilliant, courageous queens to the rest of the world. The show airs in 25 different countries and my girls perform all over the globe. The most difficult is saying “sashay away” to a contestant after she lip-synchs for her life.

Was there anyone who nurtured you in the beginning?  I discovered myself.

Who are some of your favorite stars, past and present? Cher, David Bowie, Diana Ross, Kylie Minogue, Mo’Nique, and Beyoncé.

What’s your personal motto? If you don’t love yourself, how in the hell are you gonna love someone else?
