RuPaul's Drag Race Season 10[]
- "Never loved ya!" (Season 10 Entrance)

- "Whaaaps !" (Season 10 elimination, Episode 4)
- "This is not the last you'll see of Dusty Ray Bottoms so keep your eye out, or keep your bottom out, I dunno..."
- "Eureka, I know you seem to have gotten close to Miss Kameron Michaels, and that's really surprising because no one gets close to her without a $50 meet and greet. And I know maybe it's because of Kameron's ego is so big it makes you feel dainty. And feeling dainty, Miss Blair St. Clair, I know you like to claim you're a professional actress, but being a decoy on "To Catch a Predator" is not a legit credit. And Michelle Visage, neva lavd ya." - (Season 10 reunion, Episode 13)
