Maybe what a gay icon is, is a person who is rooted for — in other words, cheered on — by people who feel different.

I came out of the womb looking for the camera angle

I walk fast. Keep moving. Always be a moving target. Marilyn Monroe taught me that.

She (Judy Garland) was a friend of mine, a trying friend, but a friend. That is what I tell myself: She did everything she ever wanted to do. She never really denied herself anything for me. See, I say, she had a wonderful life; she did what she wanted to do. And I have no right to change her fulfillment into my misery. I'm on my own broom now.

The director, of course, was Bob Fosse. But again, I worked with my father to prepare for the role.

Well, we have theatrical parties. It's not me singing. People like to get up and jam on the piano.

And what I liked the most about any project was that when it was good, you had a bunch of people trying to accomplish something together who were all acting together as one - that's the most exciting time for me.
