I just don't like politics. My rule is if I can put a spotlight on something, I'll do that.

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.

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

There are easier things in life than being a drag queen. But I ain't got no choice. Try as I may, I just can't walk in flats.

I don't believe in the afterlife, so I do think when somebody passes, it's worthy of note.

How time flies when you're doin all the talking.

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.
