RuPaul: "The whole point is to live life and be - to use all the colors in the crayon box."
RuPaul: "I think our culture is moving forward - slowly. And also, as we move forward, we're witnessing some of the old stalwarts rejecting that forward motion."
RuPaul: "Life's journey - it unfolds for you as you are ready for it."
RuPaul: "I remember being 14 years old, making a pact with myself. I would never join into the matrix, never join into the status quo, and I would always fight it. It always felt like I was on an operating table and the anesthesia never worked."
RuPaul: "It's important to remember that you're born naked, and the rest is drag."
RuPaul: "I've never personally differentiated a person who dressed up in a three-piece suit and goes to Wall Street from a person who dresses up in a polyester uniform and works at McDonalds. I think it's all drag."
RuPaul: "Never forget that the most political thing you can ever do is follow your heart."
RuPaul: "Personally, I experience success when I enjoy what I'm doing. I love the creative process, even if the end result isn't embraced by anyone else."
RuPaul: "It's important to find your tribe."
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."
RuPaul: "I don't think there is a life in the mundane 9-to-5 hypocrisy. That's not living."
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."
RuPaul: "Once you clear out from your consciousness things that no longer matter, you're able to make room for other things."
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."
RuPaul: "I think this life is hard without assistance from others."
