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

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.

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

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.

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

Happiness isn’t in the absence of problems but the strength to overcome.

The crow flew closer, as if to hear its praises.

A mind stretched by a new ideanever shrinks back to its original proportions. ~

At the risk of hurting your feelings, I think you should know that some kisses are more special than others.

I believe, every day, you should have at least one exquisite moment.

Skepticism is the sadism of embittered souls.

Mutilated corpses with a chance of afternoon showers. I got dressed and went to work.

When I started out, it was considered very wrong to change an image. There were scandals if someone inserted a sky into a war picture or something. Now it's all about that.

To live the life you've always wanted, you must confront the issues you've always avoided.

In general, and most especially with artists, I pay as much attention to the man who does the work, as to the work itself.
