Billy Porter Drag Quotations

I always said if I played a drag queen, I'd want to create a template with the realness they talk about in 'Paris Is Burning.'

I grew up when one of America's greatest black playwrights, August Wilson, was writing about life in Pittsburgh, but I never saw myself in any of his straight-male plays. And then I see 'Angels,' which was so honest and painful, and it had this black drag queen in it, Belize, with a big heart. I finally had a character to relate to.
