Quotes
| « | Through drag I learned I didn't really want to be at one place on the gender spectrum. Drag being performative gender allowed me to explore the spectrum's different parts, whether it be feminine, masculine, both, or none. Aja is drag but Aja's also not drag: drag is art and I do feel like I'm art. But on the flipside, whether I'm making art or not, I'm Aja. My whole life is a performance at the end of the day. I have to write my music, go to the studio, lay the music out, get it produced, then I have to rehearse, get onstage and do my music live, find out what I'm gonna wear to tour, find dancers, teach dancers. It's all one huge performance. At the same time it's reality.[8] | » |
