More quotes by RuPaul
It's a sort of piss-take on culture, because a drag queen is a clown - a parody of our society. It's a sarcastic spoof on culture, which allows us to laugh at ourselves - but in a way that is inclusive of everyone.
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.
RuPaul
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.
RuPaul
I'm always game for everything. What people don't understand is that the networks are who you have to get to take a chance on you. I wanna do it all. The trick is convincing a network to do it with you.
RuPaul
I love David Bowie and Cher and Diana Ross. I wanted to follow in their footsteps. So I set out to do that in a rock-'n'-roll band in Atlanta, Georgia. That led me to nightclubs and to the sort of Andy Warhol experience of creating a personality.
RuPaul
True wealth is having a healthy mind, body, and spirit. True wealth is having the knowledge to maneuver and navigate the mental obstacles that inhibit your ability to soar.
RuPaul
Some girls talk to the boys in the chat room, my girls talk to the boys in the backroom.
RuPaul
Our bodies are just temporary vessels for our souls, which will go on forever. You really are an extension of the power that created the whole universe, no matter what drags you have on.
RuPaul
We as gay people get to choose our family and the people we're around. I am your family. We are a family here.
RuPaul
Negativity is basically laziness. It takes a lot of hard work to remain positive, but positivity always pays off.
RuPaul
That is the key to navigating this life - don't take it too seriously. That's when the party begins.
RuPaul
Give a drag queen a fish and you feed her for a day show her how to be fishy and you feed her for a lifetime.
RuPaul
I change clothes at least three times a day. It's the only way I can justify all the shopping I do. Prada to the grocery store? Yes! Gucci to the dry cleaner's? Why not? Dolce & Gabbana to the corner deli? I insist!
RuPaul
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
Throw a little shade when you need to.
RuPaul
I always felt like an outer-space alien. I was always breaking the fourth wall.
RuPaul
Be yourself. Know your proportions. And have a good tailor.
RuPaul
We are all illusionists and that's why we are attracted to drag queens. This whole world is an illusion. It's not real.
RuPaul
Drag queens always love a portmanteau of combining words and making something new, because this whole world is shilarious. And so you have to contain yourself with words. Shilarious is just something that is a really hooty kiki funny item.

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