More quotes by 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
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
I'm always game for everything. What people don't understand is that the networks are who you have to get to take a chance on you. I wanna do it all. The trick is convincing a network to do it with you.

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.

When I was about 13, 14 - 13, I would carry a magic marker with me everywhere I went so I could write the word Bowie on everything that wasn't mine.

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.

Style is a celebratory expression of your life force. You must approach it with a sense of joie de vivre.
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
SOmetimes life isn't fair, and straight people are straight up crazy.
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
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
Some girls talk to the boys in the chat room, my girls talk to the boys in the backroom.

Throw a little shade when you need to.

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
As a kid, I was searching for my tribe of other people who saw through the matrix. Even as a kid I could never buy into the status quo. I just thought it was a joke I couldn't believe other people weren't laughing at it.
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.

If you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?
