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.

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

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

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

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

As soon as I started writing, other writers stopped wanting me acting in their shows - maybe they thought I was going to rewrite them.
