A child's kiss is magic. Why else would they be so stingy with them?

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

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

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

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

How time files when you's doin' all the talking.
Harvey Fierstein

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.
Harvey Fierstein

I actually pray everyday, but I don't believe in God.
Harvey Fierstein

I am thrilled - I can't stress that enough - thrilled when I see kids getting active.
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

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

I got the regular call, that they were doing a Broadway musical of Hairspray, and would I come and audition. I was familiar with the movie, because at the time it came out my lover wrote for Premiere magazine, and we had to see everything.
Harvey Fierstein

I'm sure there's going to be some material from This Is Not Going To Be Pretty. I usually use that song to just introduce myself to the audience, although the patter in between the song is always different.
Harvey Fierstein

If you deny yourself commitment, what can you do with your life?
Harvey Fierstein

In London they don't like you if you're still alive.
Harvey Fierstein

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.
Harvey Fierstein

It would be nice to redefine ourselves - at the moment we are drowning in diversity. That's not a bad thing, its just going to take a while before we refocus.
Harvey Fierstein

It's a lot of fun to play someone you don't normally think of yourself as.
Harvey Fierstein

It's through sheer will that I can sing.
