“I'm so thankful every day.” — Yahya Abdul-Mateen II Quote

“I'm so thankful every day.”

“When I was in college, it was on the recommendation of a friend of mine. He recommended that I take an acting class, and so I kind of did. I was very open to feedback and open to suggestions. I had a little bit of space in my schedule, and I guess, as the story goes, I went into an acting class, and I kind of got the bug for it.”

“I have a lot of fun playing quote unquote villains because I think the bad guys get to have more fun, right?”

“I've been blessed in that regard through and through. So I'm just thankful for this opportunity to play the game that I love and share that with the world.”

“I've been very close to Konnan for many years now. I thank him for much of my success in this industry. He opened the doors for me in AAA, ECW, and WCW. I'm very thankful.”

“It is the greatest reward for me to share my story, my art, and my work. And people receiving that and being thankful and grateful, it once again resonates deep within because it reminds me that I am so much bigger than being a drag performer.”
