More quotes by Nathan Lane
Hollywood... Real diamonds, fake breasts.
Nathan Lane
I was born Joseph Lane, but when I applied to the actors union, they said they already had a Joe Lane on the books and I'd have to change my last or first name. I had played the character of Nathan Detroit, whom I liked very much, in 'Guys and Dolls,' so I took the name Nathan.

Nathan Lane
There's a freedom there and an understanding of my career and the things I've done. I'm seen here as primarily a comic actor, which is OK, but I can go to New York and I do something that's very emotional. It would be lovely at some point to do something like that on film.
Nathan Lane
Take a shot of vodka and hope for the best.
Nathan Lane
I never like seeing myself on screen.

Kevin Costner. I love Kevin Costner. That's all I have to say. I love Kevin Costner.
Nathan Lane
There's not a day in my life I'm not proud of being gay, but I just wasn't ready for that attention to be placed on it. I remember being on Oprah. Well, not on Oprah. Near Oprah. She started saying, 'Now, Nathan, you got all those girlie moves going down in 'The Birdcage,' where's all that coming from? You're so good at all that girlie stuff!'
Nathan Lane
I have my aluminum siding business, and that's going like a house afire.
