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.
Harvey Fierstein

Harvey Fierstein
Theater is my temple and my religion and my act of faith. Strangers sit in a room together and believe together.
Harvey Fierstein
Time will tell us what we did and didn't do.
Harvey Fierstein
Actually, I think the average voice is like 70 percent tone and 30 percent noise. My voice is 95 percent noise.
Harvey Fierstein
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.
Harvey Fierstein
In London they don't like you if you're still alive.
Harvey Fierstein
Pork was in 1971, and I stopped hanging out at The Factory by like 1973.
Harvey Fierstein
Nothing binds a people to their leader like a common enemy. Voters don’t change governments during war.
Harvey Fierstein
The great thing about suicide is that it's not one of those things you have to do now or you lose your chance. I mean, you can always do it later.
Harvey Fierstein
I just don't like politics. My rule is if I can put a spotlight on something, I'll do that.
Harvey Fierstein
It's through sheer will that I can sing.
Harvey Fierstein
