My oldest brother used to take me to the theater. The first play he took me to see was 'Black Comedy,' then he took me to see 'Butley.' We'd see all these British plays. And 'Hello, Dolly,' with Pearl Bailey. I was unconsciously thinking, 'Gee, I would love to be able to do that.'

I'm one of those old-fashioned homosexuals, not one of the newfangled ones who are born joining parades.

People have to do things in their own time, and that's what I did.

I don't know what goes on in their heads out in Hollywood.

Hollywood... Real diamonds, fake breasts.

People think they know who I am, because I've played so many very, very out gay men on stage, and they think that's me

The reason I was in most of the movies I've done is that they paid for me to be in the theater.
