To work all the time is to be incredibly lucky.
Harvey Fierstein
Movies are all about plot. Theater, even if it's story heavy, it's about ideas.
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.
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
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
Also, if you want to reach people, theatre is not always the best way to do it.
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
You really, really, really have to love what you are going to do in theater because it is an unmerciful life. It's six days a week. It's eight performances a week. And that's doing the exact same thing over and over and over again.
Harvey Fierstein
Time will tell us what we did and didn't do.
Harvey Fierstein
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
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
How time flies when you're doin all the talking.
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
Is a gay play a play that has sex with other plays?
Harvey Fierstein
A musical takes two to five years. You have to love it to put in the years.
Harvey Fierstein
A thing of beauty is a joy till sunrise.
Harvey Fierstein
