To this day it cracks me up to think that my debut on national British television as a reporter ends with me turning a trick.

The world we live in is made up of polar opposites, black/white, male/female, night/day, and a human being who possesses both masculine and feminine – vulnerability and strength – is intriguing to us, whether they be a singer or actor or dancer, intrigues us, because THAT Is who we really are.
RuPaul
It's important to stay in this moment right here, the now. This moment is the most important moment of your life.
RuPaul
I think in times of fear and hysteria in a culture, gender experimentation as it pertains to men has to go underground because it scares people too much and it's too much for people to take on. Especially when a culture is held hostage by fear and hysteria and fundamentalism.

Don't be afraid to use all the colors in the crayon box.

American culture is one that is so easily in denial. We have such a strange dichotomy, so hypocritical. The truth can be blaring in neon letters but our culture will find a reason not to hear what the truth is.

What other people think of me is not my business. What I do is what I do. How people see me doesn't change what I decide to do. I don't choose projects so people don't see me as one thing or another. I choose projects that excite me. I think the problem is that people refuse to understand what drag is outside of their own belief system.
RuPaul
When someone wrongs you, walk away from them and don't ever look back.

When I was about 13, 14 - 13, I would carry a magic marker with me everywhere I went so I could write the word Bowie on everything that wasn't mine.
RuPaul
Excuses are for losers, and winning is for winners, like you!

When I was a kid in San Diego, I would read fashion magazines and Interview magazine, and all of that really inspired me to create a persona. So by the time I moved to New York, in the early '80s, I'd learned how to create a persona, and I knew what my persona would be.
RuPaul
A glamazon is someone who's taken a love of beauty and life and listen, depending on the weather or how my blood sugar at any time, I can be more outspoken than other times, but it's a conscious decision to live life with a fierce determination.
RuPaul
Negativity is basically laziness. It takes a lot of hard work to remain positive, but positivity always pays off.
RuPaul
With hair, heels, and attitude, honey, I am through the roof.
RuPaul
There's not a long career span because you can't really make money doing drag for very long the way the system was set up for so many years.
RuPaul
The only thing you have to watch out for is other people who feel threatened by your party.
RuPaul
That is the key to navigating this life - don't take it too seriously. That's when the party begins.
RuPaul
Through my observations, it became clear that most of society's rules and customs are rooted in fear and superstition!
RuPaul
The overall commentary on what I'm doing is saying, 'Hey look! I get to create whatever persona I want to, and it's all up to me. And the truth is, we are all - basically the universe - pretending to be humans for a brief moment of time. With a little self-induced amnesia.
RuPaul
Even when I was down, I treated myself as a star and eventually the world would catch up.
