Quote

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.

Theater is my temple and my religion and my act of faith. Strangers sit in a room together and believe together.

I actually pray everyday, but I don't believe in God.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

How time files when you's doin' all the talking.

I am thrilled - I can't stress that enough - thrilled when I see kids getting active.

In London they don't like you if you're still alive.
Harvey Fierstein
Image
It's a wonderful world. You can't go backwards. You're always moving forward. It's the wonderful part about life. And that's terrific.

Time will tell us what we did and didn't do.

A thing of beauty is a joy till sunrise.

A musical takes two to five years. You have to love it to put in the years.

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.

Movies are all about plot. Theater, even if it's story heavy, it's about ideas.

When a politician like Marco Rubio is willing to sacrifice his career defining immigration reform legislation solely to insure that gays and lesbians are denied equal protection under the law, we have to admit that we’re under attack. This is not pragmatic politics at work. These are the policies of bias, exclusion and unfairness.

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

I really am a theater person. That means you put something out there, and you let it go. Tomorrow night is a new performance.
