There are times when I don't take roles because I don't want to be perceived a certain way.

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.

My play Safe Sex was picked apart because critics thought it was untrue. It was a play in which no one had AIDS, but the characters talked about how it was going to change their lives.

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.

Beware of anyone who says they know. Trust me, they don't, or they wouldn't have to say they did.

Nothing binds a people to their leader like a common enemy. Voters don’t change governments during war.

I have great faith in the United States. It's the only country I would ever live in.
