Tony Kushner has said that Larry [Kramer] thinks everyone always has to agree with him.

I'm persona non grata at the New Yorker.

I think it's a Jewish Yale custom. I wasn't aware that other people celebrated Christmas. My wife was very big on Christmas, and I was very big on my wife.

My father always wanted me to be president of the United States, and his fallback position was that I not become a ward of the county. I think my father was okay about my going into journalism, though.

We don't like to say that [my wife was Jewish] because her mother was Jewish, which means she was Jewish. So don't imply that my wife was a shikse.

[Larry Kramer] thinks Charles de Gaulle was gay. He thinks Max Schmeling was gay.

If there was criticism about [Oscar Wilde], it was because it was written by a straight man who wasn't very educated about the gay world.
