I am a heterosexual woman in her mid-thirties and RuPaul speaks to me just as much as to a young gay man who is struggling with society's and his own acceptance! It takes intelligence, wisdom, kindness and experience to be able to be so broad in your communication! I always liked him but now he is owning a special place in my personal Pantheon!
Ladies. If you dont know already, check out the channel here where a visionary, sweet man named Nelson Sullivan. You'll see a young RuPaul in NYC in the 80s. You'll get hooked on the channel and videos 😊
Wonderful. I have to say this is truly the first time I felt that someone interviewed RuPaul and helped us see him as not only the amazing master that he is of "drag", but also of his own life journey. I really felt I got a brief glimpse into this amazing man's persona and that I am a better person for it. Many thanks Ernie!
Erick Querci Very true! It was such a pleasant and informative interview. Seeing that it took place in 2011 I wish I would have seen this six years ago lol it would have definitely opened up my eyes to how I viewed life.
Could you imagine having Ru as your uncle? I feel like he'd be such an incredible presence and someone to sit down and talk to and ask questions and confide in.
The most brilliant interviewer I have ever seen! I am an Asian Muslim mother of two, and RuPaul is a huge inspiration to me. She speaks truth and wisdom. I really appreciate that. I think he would make a better presidential candidate than Trump!
RuPauls philosophy on life is inspiring to say the least. As the saying goes he's an "old soul". What I wouldn't give to be able to sit down with him and absorb all of that wisdom.
this guy is a great interviewer, excellent questions. miles ahead of most network bobbleheads that have a national platform and ask the most asinine questions. i wish you luck ernie for a larger platform. love me some ru.
Great man!!!, meet him before at Christopher street while he was heading to work at KTU. Gave me great advice to always love myself, be safe, u can always do better, Blessings. Never forgot it, glad he became successful. May God continue to bless him,,,
Ktu is a radio station in New York, at the time he lived on Christopher start b4 making big. Tough times for me..being gay and all n he gave me advice.cool dude...
One of the most beautiful human beings (inside and out). Such a privilege to have lived in the same era to experience someone who's made, and is still making a great impact to so many people's lives. I can say that I truly love this person!
He is such a role model for Anybody not just anybody who may feel misunderstood or different. He has the energy of a leader and I think that comes from knowing himself and knowing that's all that matters to carry oneself through life. Love Him!🙄
I'm extremely crazy about this person. I love all sides I've seen of him, and I get happy when I watch RuPaul. I want to say thank you for just being you, and when I watch your show or even old interviews, it brings joy and laughter to my heart. Thank you again. Sincerely, Shelley Bell
I don’t know who this fellow is but he’s a great interviewer! I really enjoyed his questions and how he was able to bring out RuPauls story telling and they both were relaxed and felt very natural together!
Rupaul is such a beautiful person. Just an otherworldly entity of warm, calm, positive and all-knowing confident energy. I could listen to him talk all day.
Who does not love Rupaul, he is so grounded and interesting. There are some people that shine a light with their knowledge and work on this Earth and help many over come their fears and help turn them into triumphs.
This was one of Rupaul's more cerebral interviews. And when he mentioned the timeline when he was turning 40, my ears perked up, because I am attempting to absorb every piece of wisdom for this milestone. Thank you, Rupaul, for continuing to inspire me to be my fearless self, and loving myself. You will always have a place in my heart for teaching me these lessons more than 20 years ago.
Great interview..I love Ru. He's so down to earth and extremely smart. I had never heard of Ernie before this but great interviewer. He's handsome too:)
Rupaul is literally my spirit animal you don't even understand I hate that phrase, but I dont know how else to put it I just feel like my identity, the way I see things,etc. everything Rupaul says is just so on point just aaaaa I love them so much
Love, Love, Love you Ru! And yes, I totally agree with you. I've read 'Brave New World' and I've read Orwell's '1984'. It's scary but true we live in a world where fear-mongering is rampant. Thank you Ru for continuing to push the envelope and encouraging the younger generation to be themselves, no matter what! :-)
I just HAD to send this link to ALL of my friends, Ru is so inspirational and this interview has made me love even more the person that he is and all that he has accomplished. He is just SO right!
Wow, as others have stated this is one of the most informative interviews with a 'celebrity' I have ever seen. It showed a side of RuPaul that I had no idea existed. He's intelligent, knowledgeable of himself and his celebrity, funny, and real. I Love You Ru! Wonderful post, thanks.
I really loved watching this video, and listening to what RuPaul was saying. I love his awareness and the personal responsibility he takes for his life and the rode he was walked. He is so multifaceted and articulated that his honesty, fearlessness, and loving heart really shines through! Thank you for sharing yourself with us Ru. kisses
Ru is so amazing, intelligent, articulate and gorgeous. One of my fave people on that planet. And what a nice host, this Ernie is. Looking forward to watching more InnerViews.
I am so in love with Ru and really wish he could run for president. I think Ru in both male and feminin energy has so much to teach and share, if people would listen oxox GREAT INTERVIEW!! Sorry it took me so long to find
I love talking to you, every time. I have a great time with you, you're wonderful. He is so sweet and sincere. You can see he is making authentic connections with people and that is why he is so special! I have watched this so many times now, always touches me and reminds me of how joyous life can be.
He is one of my heros. My god ! Loved him from day 1. It was so fun. The lyrics are the truth. I told someone. You better work! They said "that sounds gay" lol then I said "well then...there is no excuses. You better work " snap love you Rupaul. To me as a straight woman you speak for some of us as well. Hero!
There are many videos of Ru, created in the 1980s by a film maker in New York named Nelson Sullivan It's when Ru was in his early to mid 20's struggling to get into the NY underground scene, u can find these on YT. Check them out, you will jaw drop.
"Music is the shortcut to someone's intellectual DNA."
He's so knowledgeable and worldly, and the way he communicates is well done.

go watch the nelson sullivan videos of rupaul in the 80s. It really shows you where ru came from and how he became the incredible person he is today
He's always impressed me with his groundedness, every time I've seen an interview with him. Great guy.

agree
Adline Writes I totally agree!!! But then again, who wouldn't!!
I used he and she didn't I LOL. Oh well, I'm sure Mama Ru wouldn't mind :)
coreymaggette ru uses both female and male pronouns
RuPaul is intelligent and has wisdom, dump is a badly behaved and educated toddler.
RuPauls philosophy on life is inspiring to say the least. As the saying goes he's an "old soul". What I wouldn't give to be able to sit down with him and absorb all of that wisdom.
You can change every situation by your perception of it and how you choose to see it.

I love him ❤️❤️❤️
He could churn out 20 more drag superstars from RPDR, but there will never be another RuPaul.
He is such an evolved soul. Damesta
Namesta
Who cares.
And here we are 10 years and about 20 drag superstars later and Ru is still the queen of drag 🙌🏼👑
What an intelligent, humble person. Ru, you inspire so many people. Awesome interview.
this guy is a great interviewer, excellent questions. miles ahead of most network bobbleheads that have a national platform and ask the most asinine questions. i wish you luck ernie for a larger platform.

Ru's words sound almost like a shaman's, he has so much experience and wisdom.
this aged like milk
@@sam_sands why? It did not.
@@Randomqtman are u saying it’s 2021 and you believe RuPaul’s words make him like a shaman? Don’t be that girl haha
@@MM-qj8ys but what has changed? What's he done that would or should change OPs opinion?
@@sam_sands Projection is NOT a good look lol
What an absolutely wonderful interviewer.
Great man!!!, meet him before at Christopher street while he was heading to work at KTU. Gave me great advice to always love myself, be safe, u can always do better, Blessings. Never forgot it, glad he became successful. May God continue to bless him,,,

Ktu is a radio station in New York, at the time he lived on Christopher start b4 making big. Tough times for me..being gay and all n he gave me advice.cool dude...
Answered many months late better late then never..
Happy he's successful, doing well for himself. It was tough for us back in the days.... 20 plus yrs ago.
All I want to do is just hug him! He's such an angel and such an amazing person!
One of the most beautiful human beings (inside and out). Such a privilege to have lived in the same era to experience someone who's made, and is still making a great impact to so many people's lives. I can say that I truly love this person!
Great Interview. Ru is always so Enlightened and Inspirational. Really Love hearing him Speak. Xo's

So articulate... saw him in the street in full glam in NYC one time... and boy did he cause a sensation
I like how Ru mentioned he was from San Diego when he was telling the picnic story with one of his older sisters.
We love you, Ru!!! Thanks so much for all that you do!!!
I don’t know who this fellow is but he’s a great interviewer! I really enjoyed his questions and how he was able to bring out RuPauls story telling and they both were relaxed and felt very natural together!
