I actually may do a musical next year... not one that I've written one that I may star in. Plus my concert and other people's work and all of a sudden you've got a very full life.

More quotes by Harvey Fierstein
I really am a theater person. That means you put something out there, and you let it go. Tomorrow night is a new performance.
Harvey Fierstein
Always admit when you're wrong. You'll save thousands in therapy... and a few friendships too.
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
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.
Harvey Fierstein
Nothing binds a people to their leader like a common enemy. Voters don’t change governments during war.
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
Well, I always looked at Mulan as a movie about a lesbian coming out.
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
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
Theater is my temple and my religion and my act of faith. Strangers sit in a room together and believe together.
Harvey Fierstein
Theater has to resonate in your heart in a way that movies don't.
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
Accept no one's definition of your life define yourself.
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
A musical takes two to five years. You have to love it to put in the years.
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
Is a gay play a play that has sex with other plays?
Harvey Fierstein
I don't believe in the afterlife, so I do think when somebody passes, it's worthy of note.
Harvey Fierstein
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
