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.

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
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'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
Throw a little shade when you need to.
RuPaul
Don't be jealous of my boogie.

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
Be yourself. Know your proportions. And have a good tailor.
RuPaul
Some people are beyond help, just accept that.
RuPaul
I can always sniff out when someone is being what they think I want them to be, which is the complete opposite. I really want a queen to be herself.
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
I love Superman. Because he represents the hero with 1,000 faces. And the potential that lies in every human on this planet.
RuPaul
When you're face to face with someone less worthy, tell them.
RuPaul
Our bodies are just temporary vessels for our souls, which will go on forever. You really are an extension of the power that created the whole universe, no matter what drags you have on.
RuPaul
Even when I was down, I treated myself as a star and eventually the world would catch up.
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
That is the key to navigating this life - don't take it too seriously. That's when the party begins.
RuPaul
Negativity is basically laziness. It takes a lot of hard work to remain positive, but positivity always pays off.
RuPaul
No one wants a cherry pie that bites back.
RuPaul
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.
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.
