More quotes by 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
To this day it cracks me up to think that my debut on national British television as a reporter ends with me turning a trick.
RuPaul
That is the key to navigating this life - don't take it too seriously. That's when the party begins.
RuPaul
I feel like a mother-queen-vampire-Dracula because I want to make more girls so I can have more friends and more girls to play with, you know? For a long time, it was really just me. There were other girls in the niche underground, but not on a world level.
RuPaul
The greatest truths in life are the ones your fellow queens are willing to tell you.
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
The only thing you have to watch out for is other people who feel threatened by your party.
RuPaul
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
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
When someone wrongs you, walk away from them and don't ever look back.
RuPaul
I always felt like an outer-space alien. I was always breaking the fourth wall.
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
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
We all came into this world naked. The rest is all drag.
RuPaul
Illusion starts between the ears. If the person doing illusion doesn't believe it, then the audience doesn't believe it. Seeing the picture in your head will allow the audience to see it in their heads.
RuPaul
Look at me - a big old black man under all of this makeup, and if I can look beautiful, so can you.
RuPaul
Actually, it does start with you - if you want to change the world, change yourself.
RuPaul
True wealth is having a healthy mind, body, and spirit. True wealth is having the knowledge to maneuver and navigate the mental obstacles that inhibit your ability to soar.
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
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.
