15 Harvey Fierstein Quotes about You

Harvey Fierstein
” Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life, define yourself. “


” 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. “


” If you deny yourself commitment, what can you do with your life? “


” How time files when you’s doin’ all the talking. “


” In London they don’t like you if you’re still alive. “


” 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. “


” It’s a lot of fun to play someone you don’t normally think of yourself as. “


” 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. “


” What looks absolutely fabulous in rehearsal can fall flat in front of an audience. The audience dictates what you do or don’t change. “


” 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. “


” 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. “


” 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. “


” Also, if you want to reach people, theatre is not always the best way to do it. “


” And I believe that you never be limited in what you do, so I like to do movies, I like to do television. “


” I actually may do a musical next year… not one that I’ve written, one that I may star in. Plus my concert and other people’s work and all of a sudden you’ve got a very full life. “
