More quotes by RuPaul
It's a sort of piss-take on culture, because a drag queen is a clown - a parody of our society. It's a sarcastic spoof on culture, which allows us to laugh at ourselves - but in a way that is inclusive of everyone.
RuPaul
Excuses are for losers, and winning is for winners, like you!
RuPaul
Through my observations, it became clear that most of society's rules and customs are rooted in fear and superstition!
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
You can call me he. You can call me she. You can call me Regis and Kathie Lee I don't care! Just as long as you call me.
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.

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
The world is your catwalk, so just remember this when you're out there.
RuPaul
It's been important to cultures throughout history with the court jester and the witch doctor and the shaman - all preach the same thing.
RuPaul
That is the key to navigating this life - don't take it too seriously. That's when the party begins.
RuPaul
Spirituality has nothing to do with church, and everything to do with hair.
RuPaul
I love to laugh, I love color, I love texture, and I love creativity, so I was always inspired by people who incorporate those things in their work.
RuPaul
I feel an obligation to myself to entertain myself and if other people get something out of it, I'm like, right on.
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
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
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
My motivation comes from a love of being creative. I'm in love with music and colour and laughter and dancing and all things that are beautiful.
RuPaul
Be yourself. Know your proportions. And have a good tailor.
RuPaul
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.
