 I actually pray everyday, but I don't believe in God. |
| Actually, I think the average voice is like 70 percent tone and 30 percent noise. My voice is 95 percent noise. |
| Pork was in 1971, and I stopped hanging out at The Factory by like 1973. |
| To me, if a heterosexual has a right to do it, then I have a right to do it. And if it's important to the gay youth - who are now setting the agenda - then its important to me. |
| The great thing about suicide is that it's not one of those things you have to do now or you lose your chance. I mean, you can always do it later. |
| But I'm not adverse to the idea of Torch Song as a musical. It would just be different. Because the play will always be there exactly as it was, and in a musical you could tell a lot of the story through songs. |
| So, did I work with Warhol? I worked with him less on that play then I did on other things. He actually did a portrait of my rabbit and some other stuff. Warhol was definitely... Warhol. |
| When I write stuff and I help cast it, I turn away good people all the time. I may turn them down because this one's too tall and that one doesn't have a high enough voice or this one looks to old to match up with that one - there's a billion reasons not to hire somebody. |
| It would be nice to redefine ourselves - at the moment we are drowning in diversity. That's not a bad thing, its just going to take a while before we refocus. |
| Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself. |
| Time will tell us what we did and didn't do. |
| I do believe we're all connected. I do believe in positive energy. I do believe in the power of prayer. I do believe in putting good out into the world. And I believe in taking care of each other. |
| If you deny yourself commitment, what can you do with your life? |
| I actually may do a musical next year... not one that I've written; one that I may star in. Plus my concert and other people's work and all of a sudden you've got a very full life. |
| I am thrilled - I can't stress that enough - thrilled when I see kids getting active. |
| But actually just yesterday we raised the key of one of my songs two steps up, so my voice is obviously responding. It's a muscle, and the more you use it, the more you use it right, the more you should get out of it. So yes, I sing. |
