More quotes by 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!

Actually, it does start with you - if you want to change the world, change yourself.

The truth of who we are has nothing to do with religion or the type of car that we drive or the color of our skin. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. And the human experience part is very temporary. So, things like the bar, love, magic, dancing, and colors are there to remind us to not take all of this stuff so seriously.
RuPaul
The truth is - most things are probably gonna fail. But my failures bring me to the next thing. So in that regard, nothing's a failure, it's a continuation.
RuPaul
Style is a celebratory expression of your life force. You must approach it with a sense of joie de vivre.
RuPaul
It's very easy for me to take on other people's energy, so my personal mantra is Love yourself, love yourself, love yourself.
RuPaul
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
Love yourself. KNOW thyself. And be mindful of your thoughts.
RuPaul
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
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
I always felt like an outer-space alien. I was always breaking the fourth wall.
RuPaul
If you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?
RuPaul
Negativity is basically laziness.
RuPaul
Look at me - a big old black man under all of this makeup, and if I can look beautiful, so can you.
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
It's all about knowing that everybody that you see, everybody that you sit across from is a different aspect of yourself. So once you can accept yourself on every level, that's when everything opens up, that's when the party really begins.
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
Ego loves identity. Drag mocks identity. Ego hates drag

Very little is off -limits, but draw the line at being unkind.
RuPaul
I feel like a mother-queen-vampire-Dracula because I want to make more girls so I can have more friends and more girls to play with, you know? For a long time, it was really just me. There were other girls in the niche underground, but not on a world level.
