It's like, when RuPaul calls, I answer.
This movement that RuPaul has created and World of Wonder and Logo has allowed to be aired, it's so much than just gay men carrying on in high heels and wigs and fake fingernails. It's truly a story of courageous souls. And I'm grateful that I'm a part of this.
I'll be the first to thank RuPaul, who gave me the money and let me out into the world. RuPaul is an excellent role model. I'm talking about someone who has worked hard in the business for quite some time. RuPaul put gay men in wigs into people's living rooms. RuPaul is the reason that we're not threatening.
Some of my friends really rock out: Matt and Kim, Diplo, when RuPaul was performing. Beyonce... there's tons of people I saw perform and was like, 'I just want my crowd to be awesome like this!'
I'd dress like RuPaul if I was prime minister. I'd have a lace front, waist cincher. I'd have padding on my hips. I'd be ruling the country in style.
In person, RuPaul is warm, funny, personable - someone who thoroughly enjoys life.
I love puns and plays on words, which is why I love RuPaul so much.
Part of my struggle with being gay was that a lot of my homophobia was internalized because of the cues that I was - received. I didn't see anybody like myself in the culture. RuPaul was the closest to a gay, out black man that I had growing up.
I will kick my best friend out of the way if RuPaul wants to stand next to me as my best man.
Karen is like RuPaul - she's a character. It never occurred to me until now, but she is!
