I feel like I've won every year the show has been picked up by Logo because, really, nothing beats a paycheck.
Quote by -RuPaul
I've always been ambitious. I've always been able to roll up my sleeves and get to work. I like to stay busy. I love working, and I love being creative.
Quote by -RuPaul
For both men and women, an eyelash curler is a must. It gives your eye the appearance of being well-rested and wide open.
Quote by -RuPaul
The only person I look up to - and not just in show business but also in the world - is a little lady named Judge Judy! Honestly.
Quote by -RuPaul
If you look at their voting habits and their eating habits, you realize people are stupid.
Quote by -RuPaul
People don't know how to place me in their consciousness. They think, 'Oh, you must be here to make me look good. That's what gay guys are, right? You're an accessory for my straight life.' Just because your limited view is that everyone's there to serve you and that you're the only person in the world. It doesn't work that way.
Quote by -RuPaul
Drag breaks the fourth wall, which is why it's never been quite accepted, because nobody wants to be told that they are really a caricature of themself and to not take yourself too seriously.
Quote by -RuPaul
I think drag is universal, no matter who does it. I mean, yeah, I am homosexual, but I think everybody likes to toy with their image. I love those guys. I love Milton Berle and Flip Wilson and all those people.
Quote by -RuPaul
There's not another lip-synch song on the planet, in the history of lip-synching songs, that has been lip-synched more than 'I Will Survive.'
Quote by -RuPaul
Once you clear out from your consciousness things that no longer matter, you're able to make room for other things.
Quote by -RuPaul
I toured around for years, but the road was always a drag for me. I never made a dime. In fact, I lost a lot of money - it was horrible.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
'Geronimo' was a huge amount of work. That involved 80-piece orchestras and Indians and Tuvans and all kinds of crazy people on that thing. That's a real circus, that score.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
Who does this, at age 71, try to put a tour together from scratch? I have to say it's scary at times. But I like a challenge 'cause it keeps you on your toes.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
The '50s was the golden age of music all over the world for some crazy, 'X-File'-like reason I can't quite understand.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
I just feel that music is a great life because it's very rewarding. It's a gratification. You do this for yourself, and you also do this for other people.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
I keep my mind on track, and I don't get mad, and I don't get frustrated. Well, I do... but creative work, it's a way of controlling all that.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
If you're taught to hate and fear a people or a country, and it works, it's because of your ignorance of that country. You have no contact with it, nor do you know what you're hating and fearing.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
I don't understand the public, but I do believe the public is oversold and underrated every day. Give the people something interesting, something to chew on, I say.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
Santa Monica, where I have always lived, is not a town where you will find storefront Church of God in Christ churches. So, the whole idea of gospel quartet singing is something I never knew existed until I began to hear it on record.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
If it hadn't been for record people like Ralph Peer, the Chess brothers, and Alan Lomax, then life would've been unbelievably dull, and I would've been sacking groceries somewhere and probably, at this point, running a little 7-Eleven down by the airport.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
People have all sorts of expectations which you can't meet. Me, I'm so reclusive I stay away from such things as much as I can. I never go anywhere.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
Beautiful tunes are all very good and fine, and great musicians are always great, but that alone isn't enough. Most folks, when they see movies or hear records, need something that they find pulls them in, draws them in, and appeals to them beyond just the notes.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
I've done a fair amount of commercials. I did a bunch of Champion spark plug ads and Levi's and Molson Beer. You wouldn't know it. But some of it's damn good.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
American global economic imperialism is a fact. It's a known fact. It's a simple fact.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
It all started back in '69 when I worked with Jack Nitzche on 'Performance.' That was my first experience of doing soundtracks, and I've enjoyed doing them ever since.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
You have to be able to improvise and respond to what's going on around you. Then you might get a good piece of work done.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
I can't help what people write or think. If somebody thinks I'm a serious archivist, they're wrong. That's been a problem. It's a shame people take that attitude, because it affects how they listen to the music. It's a big mistake to treat any pop music that way.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
I'm used to music as a tool, taking the various elements and then making something completely new out of them. And writing film music is the perfect opportunity to do that, because you can look at the film and then just let your imagination soar.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
The blues is so expressive - nostalgic but not sentimental, mournful but not pathetic, so humble and close to the earth. It's a nuance-filled thing.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
I think all the music I do, which ties together, as far as I'm concerned, is fun and entertaining.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
The story of American pop music is the story of failure. The blues, country music, it's not the story of success. People don't win; they lose.
Quote by -Ry Cooder
When I made the first album, I was 24, and at that age, you have nothing to say. I just played the music I loved and tried to do it justice.
