Harvey Fierstein
To work all the time is to be incredibly lucky.

Harvey Fierstein
How time files when you's doin' all the talking.
Harvey Fierstein
I often say that if you want to really want to understand the contract of marriage just ask anyone who has been divorced. The marriage contract is one of property rights. Or maybe you can look in the bible to see what Adam had to say about divorce since Eve was his second wife.
Harvey Fierstein
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.
Harvey Fierstein
Accept no one's definition of your life define yourself.
Harvey Fierstein
I actually pray everyday, but I don't believe in God.
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
Well, I always looked at Mulan as a movie about a lesbian coming out.
Harvey Fierstein
When I went into 'Fiddler,' I wondered about the response I'd get - the backlash because I'm openly gay. There was none. I toured Canada and America, and not one single review suggested that I played the role gay or that I seemed anything but Tevye.
