More quotes by Kevin Sessums
I was not shoe. That's a misuse of the term shoe, which is derived from white shoe.
Kevin Sessums
I have never heard that referred to before, that term: Jewish men from Yale.
Kevin Sessums
Tony Kushner has said that Larry [Kramer] thinks everyone always has to agree with him.
Kevin Sessums
David Remnick [the New Yorker's editor in chief]is about as interested in anything gay as I am interested in anything to do with baseball. It drives me nuts.
Kevin Sessums
I think it's a Jewish Yale custom. I wasn't aware that other people celebrated Christmas. My wife was very big on Christmas, and I was very big on my wife.
Kevin Sessums
If there was criticism about [Oscar Wilde], it was because it was written by a straight man who wasn't very educated about the gay world.
Kevin Sessums
[Calvin Trillin] was very shoe, which means he was a big jock, a big deal.
Kevin Sessums
Calvin [Trillin] has never done anything majorly objectionable.
Kevin Sessums
It's always been hard to be gay in Washington.
Kevin Sessums
My father always wanted me to be president of the United States, and his fallback position was that I not become a ward of the county. I think my father was okay about my going into journalism, though.
Kevin Sessums
I wasn't a [gay] activist, really.
Kevin Sessums
That's why I tried to kill myself when I was a student [in Yale]. I thought I was the only one there.
Kevin Sessums
Is it easier for you to have straight friends, Larry [Kramer], since you seem so often disappointed in your gay friends who can't live up to what you expect of them as gay people?
Kevin Sessums
I find myself applying the addict's impulse to how I cruise. I don't look at the ass. If I see a hot guy walking towards me I look at his arm, and if he has a vein I fantasize about shooting up with him.
Kevin Sessums
Hollywood needs peripheral people like me. You're not of that world, but you're needed.
Kevin Sessums
I talked to [Larry] Kramer a little bit about it while I was writing 'Remembering Denny' . Denny was one of those people who took a long time to come out.
Kevin Sessums
When I graduated [from Yale], I went back to Larry [Kramer]. But when I go to Yale reunions, there are still people who call me David.
Kevin Sessums
There was a lot really awful about that time [in fifties] if you were gay.
Kevin Sessums
One thing I learned in sobriety is to stop being judgmental, to always be discerning. When I drive, that will be my bumper sticker.
Kevin Sessums
I just so desperately wanted to be published in New Yorker, and I'd so desperately try to get something in it. But I'd always get nice letters back telling me that Mr. Shawn [William Shawn, the New Yorker's editor from 1952 to 1987] just didn't like this or didn't like that about what I submitted.
