My number one tip for all people, not just drag queens, is false eyelashes, which make every look go from daytime to glamazon!
Quote by -RuPaul
I always bring an orange scarf, not just so I can wear it or tuck it into my pocket, but also so I can throw it over a lamp in the hotel room. Orange is my favourite colour, and it gives a lovely, warm ambience.
Quote by -RuPaul
Throughout my life, I have always believed in love; I've always put my heart in love. But I've seen fear take people so often. It's very scary.
Quote by -RuPaul
I don't think drag will ever be mainstream because it's counter to what the mainstream directive is, which is picking an identity and sticking with it for the rest of your life.
Quote by -RuPaul
The secret of success in every field is redefining what success means to you. It can't be your parent's definition, the media's definition, or your neighbor's definition. Otherwise, success will never satisfy you.
Quote by -RuPaul
Don't believe the hype; don't believe what it tells you on your driver's license. You are an extension of the power that created this whole universe.
Quote by -RuPaul
'The Wizard of Oz' is my favourite. It explains what life on this planet is about. Although Dorothy reaches Oz, she finds she had what she needed to go back to Kansas all along, but the Good Witch tells her that she had to learn it for herself. All of the answers to the meaning of life are there.
Quote by -RuPaul
The number one taboo for boys is to be feminine, so for someone to not only override their internal directive but society's directive is mind-boggling and heroic. It's courageous.
Quote by -RuPaul
I've been on both sides; I've interviewed people, and I do an okay job, I guess. But it's awful. Because you feel like you have to defend your life, which is such an interesting concept. It's not an easy process to sit down and talk about, 'What's your motivation?' Because as I'm answering, I'm working it out for myself at the same time.
Quote by -RuPaul
Drag is really about reminding people that you are more than you think you are - you are more than what it says on your passport.
Quote by -RuPaul
Mainstream's never appealed to me, really. I mean, I've become popular over the years in certain areas. But mainstream, you know, I would rather the mainstream come to me.
Quote by -RuPaul
I had mentors, growing up in gay life - older gay men who told me about our history and the history of art and culture - but somehow, the younger generation missed out on that synergy.
Quote by -RuPaul
I've always been drawn to people who dance to the beat of a different drum; it didn't matter if they were in film or music or fashion.
Quote by -RuPaul
It's a neutralizing mantra to say to everybody, 'I come in peace.' I come in peace. That's why it's important.
Quote by -RuPaul
Usually, people who don't have a broad perspective see gay people as servants - as people who are there to make them look good.
Quote by -RuPaul
The only time you will ever see me in drag is when I am - What? Getting paid. It is my job.
Quote by -RuPaul
I try to do three active things a day because I have to fit into costumes that are very tight.
Quote by -RuPaul
I have always worked and did my work on the fringe, where I have feel very comfortable.
Quote by -RuPaul
I love drag, and I love people who gravitate toward it. Because the people who do drag are people who dance to the beat of a different drummer.
Quote by -RuPaul
Everyone has a really short attention span, and you have to bombard them with content, content, content.
Quote by -RuPaul
I love games. My favorite thing on this planet to do is to play games. And if you don't enjoy games, then you're really missing the point of what this life is.
Quote by -RuPaul
Drag has always been the thing you turn to to remember to not take yourself too seriously.
Quote by -RuPaul
Drag queens have always taken on that role of spilling the tea - and the tea is the emperor has no clothes!
Quote by -RuPaul
It's true in everything, not just in drag: To be a success, you have to understand the landscape. You have to know thyself, and you have to know your history so that you can draw from people who have figured out the equation you are faced with. It's not rocket science.
Quote by -RuPaul
In my life, I've been able to really examine society in a way most people who aren't outsiders don't get a chance to do.
Quote by -RuPaul
I always did what I thought was interesting. I always just did what caught my fantasy. Looking like a woman, that was never the criteria for me. It was always to do drag. And drag is not gender-specific. Drag is just drag. It's exaggeration.
Quote by -RuPaul
We humans are still a very primitive culture, and it's one of the traps we've fallen into over the course of our lives - to forget our history. That's why George Orwell's 'Animal Farm' is so profound. It chronicles our short memory.
Quote by -RuPaul
There are only two types of people in the world. There are the people who understand that this is a matrix, and then there are the people who buy it lock, stock and barrel.
Quote by -RuPaul
Doing drag in a male-dominant culture is an act of treason. It's the most punk-rock thing you can do.
