I think the minute you mention death, people run for the hills - unless it's heavy metal. People do not like death.
Quote by -Rufus Wainwright
My love of maple syrup. I've been known to knock back a can over a couple days: A swig here, a swig there, and next thing you know it's gone. It's a habit I have to stave off. I don't want to lose all my teeth.
Quote by -Rufus Wainwright
My mother had a lot of parties when I was a child. There'd always be a moment when she would place me on the upright piano and have me sing Somewhere 'Over the Rainbow'.
Quote by -Rufus Wainwright
I'm very fit on tour. I try to eat well, try to sleep. But it's still rock n' roll.
Quote by -Rufus Wainwright
I have managed to eke out a good and substantial existence. I'm not shoveling gold bricks or anything, but I do very, very well.
Quote by -Rufus Wainwright
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.
Quote by -RuPaul
All things to do with drag are inherently therapeutic because the realization of your own insanity is the beginning of sanity.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -RuPaul
Unfortunately, in our culture, one person can write a letter to the network, and they shut something down. It's unfortunate.
Quote by -RuPaul
I've lived my whole life in the life - I've lived my whole life doing the thing, I've been doing my own thing. And I think my life speaks volumes about what one must do.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
Drag queens have always taken on that role of spilling the tea - and the tea is the emperor has no clothes!
Quote by -RuPaul
Drag has always been the thing you turn to to remember to not take yourself too seriously.
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
Everyone has a really short attention span, and you have to bombard them with content, content, content.
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
I have always worked and did my work on the fringe, where I have feel very comfortable.
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
The only time you will ever see me in drag is when I am - What? Getting paid. It is my job.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
