There are times when I don't take roles because I don't want to be perceived a certain way.
Harvey Fierstein -
Time will tell us what we did and didn't do.

If you deny yourself commitment, what can you do with your life?
Harvey Fierstein -
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.
Harvey Fierstein -
Change your mind as often as possible. Just because you thought something yesterday doesn't mean you have to think it today. Don't ever become a prisoner of your own opinion...
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 actually pray everyday, but I don't believe in God.
Harvey Fierstein -
To me, if a heterosexual has a right to do it, then I have a right to do it. And if it's important to the gay youth - who are now setting the agenda - then its important to me.

Also, if you want to reach people, theatre is not always the best way to do it.
Harvey Fierstein -
Of course people are afraid. But honestly facing that fear, seeing it for what it is, is the only way of putting it to rest.
Harvey Fierstein -
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.

The world is full of more interesting things than my voice.
Harvey Fierstein -
Please, people, do not f- with depression. It's merciless. All it wants is to get you in a room alone and kill you. Take care of yourself.
Harvey Fierstein -
Political movements always belong to the young.
Harvey Fierstein -
I burned out on AIDS and did no AIDS work for a couple of years. I was so angry that people were still getting this disease that nobody can give you - you have to go out and get it!
Harvey Fierstein -
Theater is my temple and my religion and my act of faith. Strangers sit in a room together and believe together.
Harvey Fierstein -
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.

-
Always admit when you're wrong. You'll save thousands in therapy... and a few friendships too.
Harvey Fierstein -
Nothing binds a people to their leader like a common enemy. Voters don’t change governments during war.
Harvey Fierstein -
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.
Harvey Fierstein -
It's a lot of fun to play someone you don't normally think of yourself as.
