RuPaul : (8)

" 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. " - 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. " - RuPaul

" When I go out, I’m always dressed up. Not in drag but always prepared to be ‘on.’ Just in case somebody’s going to take a picture. Everyone has a Facebook page, so no matter what, I’m prepared to service the public. " - RuPaul

" Drag is involved with changing identities and not taking identities too seriously at all. That’s why drag is such a hard sell to a network – or anyone, really – because it’s up against the ego. " - RuPaul

" I’ve been very blessed, and that has not escaped me. " - RuPaul

" I’ve still never gotten used to myself in drag. " - 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. " - 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. " - RuPaul
