Don't be jealous of my boogie.
RuPaul
It's quite simple: If someone says UR beautiful, believe them. If someone says UR ugly, don't believe them.
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
Negativity is basically laziness.
RuPaul
SOmetimes life isn't fair, and straight people are straight up crazy.
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
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
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.

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
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.
RuPaul
You are not your body. You are actually an extension of the power that created the whole universe.
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
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
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
Our ego never wants to die and it will do anything to prolong its life. But the truth is, we are both spirit and ego and you have to have a balance between the two. Your spirit never dies, but the ego is all about beginnings and ends.
RuPaul
I love Superman. Because he represents the hero with 1,000 faces. And the potential that lies in every human on this planet.
RuPaul
Sharon Needles. Did I meet you at the free clinic?
RuPaul
Actually, it does start with you - if you want to change the world, change yourself.
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
The greatest truths in life are the ones your fellow queens are willing to tell you.
