It's not enough for me to cover theater, I have to throw myself around every other art form, and do so thoroughly and relentlessly.

For years, I've pushed the idea of a column compilation book mainly because it would be easy - I could just staple 'em all together. But publishers have been resistent, feeling the material dates.

For better or worse, I've always tried to march to my own drum and tell it like it is, while preserving some integrity and style. God, I'm fabulous!

I don't know about you, but I can tell when someone's lying. They can't look you in the eye - they look you in the bridge of your nose.

I'm deeply driven and want my finger stuck in every pot there is.

In '75, the year both A Chorus Line and Chicago hit Broadway, my head spun around and I became the ultimate theater queen for life.

I'm just a simple kid from Brooklyn who landed into the most enchanted lifestyle imaginable.

It's a good thing that columnists don't make homosexuality their last taboo anymore. But I wish the columnists themselves would come out too.

By the end of the week, if I'm still alive, I get to write whatever I want about it all.

I go to screenings, then plays, then after-parties, then clubs.

I can't drive, so I can only live in New York, which is fine with me.

I know a secret, and secrets breed paranoia.

I guess you don't make any franchise movies unless the fans are there.

If you want to do something extraordinary, there's always risk involved. I was always willing to take that risk.

Just because fate had thrown another obstacle in my way didn't mean I had to give up my dreams.

(When asked what a director does) I help.

Live by faith, not by sight.

Your spiritual family is even more important than our physical family because it will last forever.

I'm personally not into a guy who wears pedal pushers and a necklace.

I wanted them to be diverse. The whole underlying principle of the X-Men was to try to be an anti-bigotry story to show there's good in every person.

Bells are musics laughter.
