More quotes by 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
A musical takes two to five years. You have to love it to put in the years.
Harvey Fierstein
Well, I always looked at Mulan as a movie about a lesbian coming out.
Harvey Fierstein
I don't believe in the afterlife, so I do think when somebody passes, it's worthy of note.
Harvey Fierstein
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.
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
You may feel powerless as a child, but the world will one day be yours. And you're responsible for it. So, seize the day and take charge of it.
Harvey Fierstein
With Russia about to hold the Winter Games in Sochi, the country is open to pressure. American and world leaders must speak out against Mr. Putin's attacks and the violence they foster. The Olympic Committee must demand the retraction of these laws under threat of boycott.
Harvey Fierstein
As soon as I started writing, other writers stopped wanting me acting in their shows - maybe they thought I was going to rewrite them.
Harvey Fierstein
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.
Harvey Fierstein
Also, if you want to reach people, theatre is not always the best way to do it.
Harvey Fierstein
Always admit when you're wrong. You'll save thousands in therapy... and a few friendships too.
Harvey Fierstein
I actually pray everyday, but I don't believe in God.
Harvey Fierstein
Change your mind as often as possible. Just because you thought something yesterday doesn't mean you have to think it today. Don't ever become a prisoner of your own opinion
Harvey Fierstein
Time will tell us what we did and didn't do.
Harvey Fierstein
It's through sheer will that I can sing.
Harvey Fierstein
Theater has to resonate in your heart in a way that movies don't.
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
How time files when you's doin' all the talking.
Harvey Fierstein
Movies are all about plot. Theater, even if it's story heavy, it's about ideas.
