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
I actually pray everyday, but I don't believe in God.
Harvey Fierstein
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.
Harvey Fierstein
While we dance in the streets and pat ourselves on the back for being a nation great enough to reach beyond racial divides to elect our first African-American president let us not forget that we remain a nation still proudly practicing prejudice.
Harvey Fierstein
Time will tell us what we did and didn't do.
Harvey Fierstein
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.
Harvey Fierstein
And I believe that you never be limited in what you do, so I like to do movies, I like to do television.
Harvey Fierstein
How time files when you's doin' all the talking.
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
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
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
I just don't like politics. My rule is if I can put a spotlight on something, I'll do that.
