I was always concerned with writing to my age at a particular moment. That was the way I would keep faith with the audience that supported me as I went along.

More than rich, more than famous, more than happy...I wanted to be great.

I would rather feel the hurt inside, yes I would darling, than know the emptiness that your heart must hide.

A time comes when you need to stop waiting for the man you want to become and start being the man you want to be.

Most of these - most people's stage personas are created out of the flotsam and jetsam of their internal geography.

Your legs were heaven, your breasts were the alter, your body was the holy land.

Success makes life easier. It doesn't make living easier.
