Too Wong Foo Quotes

• • Noxeema Jackson: "Ms. Vida seems to think that I don't have a vision. Well, honey I don't need a vision because I have a plan. My plan is that while in Hollywood I will be approached by an imminent producer, and ivy no doubt, to star in the lush film version of the Life of Ms. Dorothy Dandridge. Yes that noble blacktress, who's career was crushed by the white hollywood machine."

• • Miss Chi-Chi Rodriguez: "You know what Vida, you're not a queen because you rule people or you sat on a throne, baby. You're a queen because you couldn't cut it as a man so you had to put on a dress, that's why."

• • Vida Boheme: "Yes you will start off a mere boy in a dress, but by the time we are done with this crusade your Auntie Vida and your Auntie Noxee will give you the outrageous outlook and indomidable spirit that it will take to make you a full-fledge Drag Queen."
