More quotes by 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.

The overall commentary on what I'm doing is saying, 'Hey look! I get to create whatever persona I want to, and it's all up to me. And the truth is, we are all - basically the universe - pretending to be humans for a brief moment of time. With a little self-induced amnesia.
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.

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.

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
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
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
There's really no way to fast-track someone because the rate that their brain is able to interpret the information they're getting is on pace with life.

Sharon Needles. Did I meet you at the free clinic?
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
The world we live in is made up of polar opposites, black/white, male/female, night/day, and a human being who possesses both masculine and feminine – vulnerability and strength – is intriguing to us, whether they be a singer or actor or dancer, intrigues us, because THAT Is who we really are.

Some girls talk to the boys in the chat room, my girls talk to the boys in the backroom.
RuPaul
It's very easy for me to take on other people's energy, so my personal mantra is Love yourself, love yourself, love yourself.
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
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.
