More quotes by RuPaul
Look at me - a big old black man under all of this makeup, and if I can look beautiful, so can you.
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.
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
I'm always talking about loving yourself and expressing yourself and learning how to love yourself. I'm still the same.
RuPaul
When I was a kid in San Diego, I would read fashion magazines and Interview magazine, and all of that really inspired me to create a persona. So by the time I moved to New York, in the early '80s, I'd learned how to create a persona, and I knew what my persona would be.
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
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
Don't take life too seriously and have fun. Don't waste your time on things that your ego will try and convince you are important.
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
We are born nude and everything after that is drag.
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
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
Throw a little shade when you need to.
RuPaul
You are not your body. You are actually an extension of the power that created the whole universe.
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
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
Some girls talk to the boys in the chat room, my girls talk to the boys in the backroom.

Sharon Needles. Did I meet you at the free clinic?
RuPaul
Ego loves identity. Drag mocks identity. Ego hates drag
RuPaul
Spirituality has nothing to do with church, and everything to do with hair.
