He gave me a look at myself I've never had before. He saw something in me nobody else ever did. He made me see it too. He made me believe it.

When you have lived the life I've lived, when you've loved and suffered, and been madly happy and desperately sad -- well, that's when you realize you'll never be able to set it all down. Maybe you'd rather die first.

In the silence of night I have often wished for just a few words of love from one man, rather than the applause of thousands of people.

When I die I have visions of fags singing 'Over the Rainbow' and the flag at Fire Island being flown at half mast.
