Art has the power to transform, to illuminate, to educate, inspire and motivate.

In Torch Song, I did that cha...

In Torch Song, I did that character almost non-stop from 1978 until I made the movie in 1987. Then I had some failure, which also colors how you react to doing other things.

The great thing about suicide...

The great thing about suicide is that it's not one of those things you have to do now or you lose your chance. I mean, you can always do it later.

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.

Pork was in 1971, and I stopped hanging out at The Factory by like 1973.

Harvey Fierstein 128 quotes

You really, really, really ha...

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 have great faith in the United States. It's the only country I would ever live in.

How often are the perpetrator...

How often are the perpetrators of hate-crimes discovered to be self-loathing? Valued individuals do not strike out against strangers.

Harvey Fierstein 128 quotes

When I went into 'Fiddler,' I...

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.

Harvey Fierstein 128 quotes

You know, I always got offere...

You know, I always got offered other stuff. Not the romantic leads, obviously. But very often it's a role that's underwritten, where the character has no personality at all. And they need a character actor who can fill it in.

Harvey Fierstein 128 quotes

While we dance in the streets...

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 128 quotes

There are times when I don't ...

There are times when I don't take roles because I don't want to be perceived a certain way.

Harvey Fierstein 128 quotes

But actually just yesterday we raised the key of one of my songs two steps up, so my voice is obviously responding. It's a muscle, and the more you use it, the more you use it right, the more you should get out of it. So yes, I sing.

Harvey Fierstein 128 quotes

So, did I work with Warhol? I...

So, did I work with Warhol? I worked with him less on that play then I did on other things. He actually did a portrait of my rabbit and some other stuff. Warhol was definitely... Warhol.

Harvey Fierstein 128 quotes

But I'm not adverse to the id...

But I'm not adverse to the idea of Torch Song as a musical. It would just be different. Because the play will always be there exactly as it was, and in a musical you could tell a lot of the story through songs.

Harvey Fierstein 128 quotes

I do believe we're all connected. I do believe in positive energy. I do believe in the power of prayer. I do believe in putting good out into the world. And I believe in taking care of each other.

Theater has to resonate in your heart in a way that movies don't.

Harvey Fierstein 128 quotes

Actually, I think the average voice is like 70 percent tone and 30 percent noise. My voice is 95 percent noise.

Harvey Fierstein 128 quotes

I have a lot of faith in President Obama. The thing that seems to be true of him is that he doesn't speak when you would expect him to speak. He's very measured in his response to things. He likes to get all the facts first before he shoots his mouth off. It makes me crazy; it makes a lot of people crazy.

I've been dating since I was 15 years old, and I just don't seem to do it well.
