If you’ve never witnessed an episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race then you are completely missing out.

Not only is it filled with hilarious, bitchy yet sassy drag queens but, if you listen a little harder, you’ll actually receive some great life advice. Here are some of the best quotes from RuPaul, the queen herself. Drag queen, that is.

1 “If you have goals and the stick-with-it-ness to make things happen, people will feel threatened by you, especially if your goals don’t include them.

‘They believe that if you take a piece of pie, then that leaves less pie for them. Seeing you follow your dreams leaves them realising that they’re not following theirs. In truth, there is unlimited pie for everyone.’




2. ‘True wealth is having a healthy mind, body, and spirit.

‘True wealth is having the knowledge to manoeuver and navigate the mental obstacles that inhibit your ability to soar.’

3. ‘If I fly or if I fall, at least I can say I gave it all’

4. ‘We all came into this world naked. The rest is all drag’

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

6. ‘My goal is to always come from a place of love… but sometimes you just have to break it down for a motherf***er’

7. ‘Walking with your chest out and your head held high says you have earned the right to stomp and pummel this particular piece of real estate’

8. ‘If you wanna be invited to the party, you must have something to bring.’

And of course, number 9: ‘If you don’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?’
