Look at me - a big old black man under all of this makeup, and if I can look beautiful, so can you.

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.

RuPaul
We all came into this world naked. The rest is all drag.
RuPaul
Style is a celebratory expression of your life force. You must approach it with a sense of joie de vivre.
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.
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
Sacrifices have to be made if you want to make a dent in the world, and that's what I started out to do - to make a dent in pop culture.
RuPaul
When there are no words, let your eyes do the talking.

Excuses are for losers, and winning is for winners, like you!
