We are all illusionists and that's why we are attracted to drag queens. This whole world is an illusion. It's not real.

Spirituality has nothing to do with church, and everything to do with hair.
RuPaul
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
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 feel an obligation to myself to entertain myself and if other people get something out of it, I'm like, right on.
