Wisdom of RuPaul: Top 10 Most Inspiring RuPaul Quotes

October 21, 2020 By Cade Hildreth

To call American drag performer, TV host, actor, and recording artist, RuPaul Andre Charles inspiring would be an understatement. As the most commercially successful drag queen in the world, with global fame from hosting his own reality drag competition series RuPaul’s Drag Race, RuPaul is known for his witty truths.

Get motivated with these 10 RuPaul quotes that will challenge the way you think!

10 Most Epic RuPaul Quotes of All-Time

Before we get into these quotes, let’s explore a bit more about who RuPaul is. In the 1980s, RuPaul was a struggling filmmaker and musician, who always found a way to stand out. He hustled in underground cinema, worked as a club dancer, and performed in drag, among other creative and entrepreneurial endeavors.

Overtime, Rupaul became known not only for his outrageous outfits, but also for his can-do attitude towards life.

By 1996, The RuPaul Show premiered on VH1. It was an American talk show that was hosted by RuPaul, who hosted it in full drag. It was one of the first national TV shows in the U.S. to have an openly gay host.

By 2009, Rupaul premiered the first season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, a reality TV series that depicts him as he hosts a competition to identify “America’s next drag superstar.” The show has now aired for 12 consecutive seasons. It has also given birth to spin-off shows, such as RuPaul’s Drag U, RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars and RuPaul’s Secret Celebrity Drag Race.

RuPaul’s ability to embrace himself has inspired millions to do the same, so it’s no surprise that in 2017, Rupaul was part of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people. That same year he made history as the first drag queen with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Below are ten of Rupaul’s most inspiring quotes of all-time.

1. “If you can’t love yourself how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else?”

This quote RuPaul reminds us of the importance of self-love, which should never be overlooked.

Relationships don’t work unless you love yourself too, otherwise, you’re measuring your worth by someone else. This is the core of Ru’s philosophy. Love yourself first.

2. “We’re all born naked and the rest is drag.”

According to Ru, drag has very little to do with someone assigned male at birth putting on a wig, padding, and makeup, or in the reverse, someone assigned female at birth embodying traditionally male characteristics.  Rather, drag is whatever we adapt to in life, be it to fit in or stand out.

To Rupaul, drag is everything. Drag is life. Drag is anytime we put on an outfit and choose how to present ourselves to the world.

3. “When you become the image of your own imagination, it’s the most powerful thing you could ever do.”

So much of RuPaul’s career was bringing the image of imagination, or his vision to life. Ru is right, that is the most powerful thing anyone can do.

Drag can be anything. Whatever you’ve always dreamed for yourself, when you make it a reality, that is a personal victory.

4. “I feel like you’re being sabotaged by your inner saboteur.”

Sometimes we’re our own worst enemy. That little voice inside your head that tells you your vision or dreams are stupid or unattainable. Sometimes that voice wins and we give up, but deep down we always wonder “what if.”

In RuPaul’s world, our biggest villain lives within us all. This is our “inner saboteur” which pumps up your fears and tells you to give up. While the outside world might fuel your inner saboteur, the real force that holds you back from achieving your goals and dreams is your inner dialogue.

This short conversation between Rupaul and the drag queen Katya will both give you a laugh and drive home this key point.

So tell that voice to take a seat and shut up!

5. “What it says on your driver’s license isn’t really who you are—you are something much greater than that.”

This goes back to the quote that we’re all born naked and the rest is drag. You can’t define yourself by your age, height, sex, name or what you look like when you’re snapped by a DMV camera.

You can be whoever and whatever you want to be. Don’t let labels define you or hold you back from achieving your dreams and living as your truest, most authentic self.

6. “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.’”

Life is too short to be caught up or live as someone you don’t want to be. Not one of us knows what we’re doing. We’re all exploring as we go, just as everyone before us has done.

We are all living here for just a moment of expression in the universe. So we might as well make the most of that moment and shine.

7. “Fulfillment isn’t found over the rainbow—it’s found in the here and now. Today I define success by the fluidity with which I transcend emotional land mines and choose joy and gratitude instead.”

While Dorothy was singing about somewhere over the rainbow, really she should’ve focused on the here and now. This goes in line with spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle, who teaches about embracing the power of now. Make the most of every moment and live life fully.

Also, gratitude is scientifically proven to increase happiness.

Personally, I do daily gratitude in the morning, evening, and every time I need a boost during the day.

It has a massive impact on my mental state and I’m grateful for the practice of gratitude. (*See what I just did? That’s how easy it is to practice gratitude!) 

8. “That is the key to navigating this life—don’t take it too seriously. That’s when the party begins.”

When you take life too seriously it’s hard to have fun. You will be able to get through this life with so much more ease if you laugh at your doubts, fears, and failures.

Life is meant to be celebrated, so commit to enjoying it.

9. “It’s very easy to look at the world and think, this is all so cruel and so mean. It’s important to not become bitter from it.”

The world can be harsh and we’re living in a time where there is so much hate in the world. But we can’t let that get us down.

While the haters are going to hate, you have to keep doing you. Or as Ru puts it, “If they ain’t paying your bills, pay them bitches no mind.” Right?

Don’t give the haters your time, keep focusing on yourself.

10. “You know, the matrix says, ‘Pick an identity and stick with it. Because I want to sell you some beer and shampoo and I need you to stick with what you are so I’ll know how to market it to you.’ Drag is the opposite. Drag says, ‘Identity is a joke.'”

We’re born naked, the rest is drag. Instead of picking just one identity and having that define you, drag tells you identity is flexible, fun, and you can be whoever you want to be.

⚠️ One of the most important TRUTHS I’ve lea ⚠️ One of the most important TRUTHS I’ve learned was this:When you give yourself permission to be yourself, you give other people permission to be themselves.If someone is upset by you being fully yourself — whether that is gay or straight or gender expansive or in a relationship with someone your family disapproves of or anything else — it is sad for them, because what they are saying to you is, “I don’t believe I have permission to do what you are capable of doing.”When you realize this, the only reaction you can have toward them is compassion.Share a “💯” below if you’ve experienced this (or needed this reminder today)...👇🏽

⚠️ UPDATE: Arkansas' Republican governor on Mo ⚠️ UPDATE: Arkansas' Republican governor on Monday vetoed an anti-transgender health care bill that would've prohibited physicians in the state from providing gender-affirming "procedures" for trans people under age 18.Gov. Asa Hutchinson told reporters that he killed HB 1570 because the bill "would be and is a vast government overreach" and because it would've created "new standards of legislative interference with physicians and parents as they deal with some of the most complex and sensitive matters involving young people."Had the governor approved it, Arkansas would've been the first state in the nation to outlaw gender-affirming health care for trans youth, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.The governor also predicted during his remarks that the state's Republican-controlled General Assembly "will likely override" his veto, noting it takes only a simple majority to do so.Leave a “👏🏽” to show support for Governor Hutchinson or share your thoughts below. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️Source: CNN

✅ #WorkoutTip: If you’re looking to get a more ✅ #WorkoutTip: If you’re looking to get a more developed and defined chest, a quick bar change from traditional barbell to Swiss Bar can help you hit new muscle fibers and supercharge your gains! 🔥💪🏽Why is this? 🤔1) As you can see, it switches your grip from horizontal (your grip on a straight barbell) to parallel. This rotates your entire arm, including the position of your elbow, shoulder, and all of the attached muscle groups.2) It lets you choose from a wide variety of widths. In this example, I choose the second from the middle grip, but you can work from extremely narrow to really wide.3) The balance/loading of the Swiss Bar feels extremely different than a straight barbell, so your accessory muscles get recruited to work extra hard throughout the path of the lift.Of course, if you add a pause at the bottom of the lift as the Swiss bar touches your chest, it can also increase the difficulty of the lift and introduce a new stimulus.Have you tried a Swiss Bar before? Let me know below... 👇🏽

Looking to add lean muscle mass while dropping bod Looking to add lean muscle mass while dropping body fat? 💪🏽🔥If so, you’re simply not going to beat the BIG compound lifts like the deadlift. 🔥🔥But, since the traditional deadlift puts a fair amount of strain on your lower and middle back, what should you do if you’re training multiple times per week? 🤔The answer? 👀1. Mix Up the Stimulus — The Hex Deadlift shown here is one of my favorite options, because it allows a more upright torso. This both lets you lift more weight and displaces some of the load across your hips and lower body.However, if you can’t access a Hex Deadlift bar at your gym, then you can use a normal barbell to do a...... Sumo Deadlift (wider stance)
... Deficit Deadlift (deeper range of motion)
... Or other variation of your choosing2. Vary Your Rep Range - In this video, I demo a higher rep range of 20 reps. In general, higher reps are associated with greater hypertrophy (muscle size growth).Higher reps will humble you because you’ll have to use less weight, but the muscle gains you experience will make it worth it!3. Amp Up Recovery - The two most powerful recovery tools you have at your disposal are food and sleep. So, how to best use them to your advantage?Consume whey protein and rapidly digestible carbs immediately post workout—and if you went heavy in your workout, then add a casein protein shake before bed too.Then, eat a full meal within approximately an hour of finishing your workout. Focus on consuming protein and carbs, while going lighter on fat.For sleep, nighttime is your anabolic period (i.e., when natural muscle recovery and growth occurs).So, get to bed either at or before your usual bedtime, keep the room ultra dark, and keep it cold enough that you need to be under the covers or you’ll end up shivering.I wear an @ouraring sleep ring and can confirm from personal experience that timing, temp, and darkness all have a huge effect on your sleep quality!Which tip are you going to try first? Let me know below... 👇🏽

To all my trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive s To all my trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive siblings:💙 You are valid.
🤍 You are worthy.
💗 You are loved.Thank you for becoming who you were born to be, because you inspires others to be their true selves too.Always remember: Courage is contagious.Happy #TransDayOfVisibility—
From @qchristianorg:Being visible is important for the movement. For the individual, being visible can mean being one of the 20% of trans people who experience homelessness or the 25% who have been fired because of their gender identity.It could make you one of the 44 trans people who were killed last year for being trans.Being visible means risking rejection and abandonment, facing erasure in the name of religious freedom, being ridiculed, mocked, bullied and misgendered intentionally.It can mean being one of the 41% who, because of all this, attempt to end their lives.
