Time will tell us what we did and didn't do.
Harvey Fierstein
Image
There are easier things in life than being a drag queen. But I ain't got no choice. Try as I may, I just can't walk in flats.

Image
While we dance in the streets and pat ourselves on the back for being a nation great enough to reach beyond racial divides to elect our first African-American president let us not forget that we remain a nation still proudly practicing prejudice.
Harvey Fierstein
Image
Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life define yourself.
Harvey Fierstein
Image
As soon as I started writing, other writers stopped wanting me acting in their shows - maybe they thought I was going to rewrite them.

Image
CBS really wants me on TV. That's their aim. My aim is to have an all-gay sitcom someday, with heterosexuals as token guest stars. Let them be the next-door neighbors for a change.

Image
I don't believe in the afterlife, so I do think when somebody passes, it's worthy of note.
Harvey Fierstein
Image
State sanctioned marriage is a civil contract period. A contract is not a judgment of moral value. It is a legal agreement between two parties that testifies to a meeting of minds between those consenting entities. It is not a religious act or rite and so has nothing to do with Adam and Eve or Steve or even Harvey.

In Torch Song, I did that character almost non-stop from 1978 until I made the movie in 1987. Then I had some failure, which also colors how you react to doing other things.

But actually just yesterday we raised the key of one of my songs two steps up, so my voice is obviously responding. It's a muscle, and the more you use it, the more you use it right, the more you should get out of it. So yes, I sing.

I'm sure there's going to be some material from This Is Not Going To Be Pretty. I usually use that song to just introduce myself to the audience, although the patter in between the song is always different.
Harvey Fierstein
Image
Art has the power to transform, to illuminate, to educate, inspire and motivate.
Harvey Fierstein
Image
I actually pray everyday, but I don't believe in God.
Harvey Fierstein
Image
Actually, I think the average voice is like 70 percent tone and 30 percent noise. My voice is 95 percent noise.
Harvey Fierstein
Image
Theater is my temple and my religion and my act of faith. Strangers sit in a room together and believe together.
Harvey Fierstein
Image
Also, if you want to reach people, theatre is not always the best way to do it.
Harvey Fierstein
Image
I do believe we're all connected. I do believe in positive energy. I do believe in the power of prayer. I do believe in putting good out into the world. And I believe in taking care of each other.
