More quotes by 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.

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.

I'd like to go for people I admire - I always gravitate towards the people I idolized when I was a teenager: Cher, Diana Ross, and David Bowie.
RuPaul
Even when I was down, I treated myself as a star and eventually the world would catch up.
RuPaul
If you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?
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
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
When someone wrongs you, walk away from them and don't ever look back.
RuPaul
No one wants a cherry pie that bites back.

I've dedicated my career to fighting the mundane. My hope is that my career will be a shining example to children everywhere that life is more meaningful when you are not afraid to see all colors of the rainbow.
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
Look at me - a big old black man under all of this makeup, and if I can look beautiful, so can you.
RuPaul
That is the key to navigating this life - don't take it too seriously. That's when the party begins.
