Movies are all about plot. Theater, even if its story heavy, its about ideas. – Harvey Fierstein
In Torch Song, I did that character almost non-stop from 1978 until I made the movie in 1987. Then I had some failure, which also colors how you react to doing other things. – Harvey Fierstein
I actually may do a musical next year… not one that Ive written one that I may star in. Plus my concert and other peoples work and all of a sudden youve got a very full life. – Harvey Fierstein
