We cast away priceless time in dreams, born of imagination, fed upon illusion, and put to death by reality.

How strange when an illusion dies. It's as though you've lost a child.

I truly have a great love for an audience, and I used to want to prove it to them by giving them blood.

You shouldn't be told you're completely irresponsible and be left alone with too much medication. It's too easy to forget. You take a couple of sleeping pills and you wake up in twenty minutes and forget you've taken them. So you take a couple more, and the next thing you know you've taken too many.

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

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.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.
