Bravery, Brilliance and RuPaul Charles | On the Spot | TED

In the debut of TED’s new “On the Spot” rapid-fire Q&A format, Emmy-winning television superstar and drag icon RuPaul Charles answers questions about bravery, brilliance and more — all with his signature wit and wisdom. Get a glimpse inside RuPaul’s head and hear his thoughts on the power of drag, the best way to slay, the most important personality trait — and the best advice he’s ever been given.
