I have never heard that referred to before, that term: Jewish men from Yale.

It's always been hard to be gay in Washington.

[Larry Kramer] even wrote this angry letter to the president of Yale, and in it he said what he said to us, that he was so disappointed in his straight friends because of AIDS and everything. He wrote the letter around March. And in it he wrote, "I usually go to the Trillins for Christmas, but I just couldn't do it this year."

One thing I learned in sobriety is to stop being judgmental, to always be discerning. When I drive, that will be my bumper sticker.

I don't think everybody's gay. But I think a lot more people are than the world knows about.

I'm persona non grata at the New Yorker.

I believe we really became friends [with Larry Kramer] when we bonded at our fifteenth class reunion in 1972.
