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

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!

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.

My passion is New York and the vitality that makes it special.

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

This commitment to truth is something one senses more and more Americans yearning for, just as they are becoming more and more sophisticated at knowing when the truth is being obscured - an irony that seems to elude most of today's elected officials.

In the last few years, the very idea of telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth is dredged up only as a final resort when the alternative options of deception, threat and bribery have all been exhausted.

Pretending to be other people helped bring me out of my shell and shed my inhibitions.

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

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

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

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

With representation there to do the speaking, the guilty are suddenly given the freedom that comes with hiding behind the fact that they never said that - in fact, they never said anything!

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 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.

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.

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 a great singer.

One can become enthusiastic over anything. For a time I was delighted with bomb throwing. It gave me a tremendous pleasure to bomb those fellows from above.

I was diagnosed with diabetes at age 18. I didn't know what it was, so I went to the library and looked it up.

If you let other people do it for you, they will do it to you.

For all the huffing and blowing we get about rugged individualism, the American spirit and the American experiment always have had at their heart the notion that the government is all of us and that, therefore, the government may keep things in trust for all of us.

It is easier to influence strong than weak characters in life.

I don't think anyone ever gets over the surprise of how differently one audience's reaction is from another.

There's an expression in Australia that's called 'Go Bush,' which means to get out of the city and relax. I try and 'go bush' to places where there's no cell reception. But, I don't get to do that often, so for the most part, it's just a state of mind.

Service dogs raise their masters' sense of well-being.

Anyone that truly cares about you will never put you last on their list. You would be a priority in their life.

I intentionally aided them by being there and blocking an avenue of escape for the victims.

In modern novels, there is no one I want to copy. My style 'is a poor thing, but it is my own.'

There is no substitute for hard work. Never give up. Never stop believing. Never stop fighting.

The truth is the truth is the truth. And as long as you tell the truth, you'll be okay in the end.

The worlds a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed.

Being famous is such a gift for me because small things make peoples lives brighter. You just shake somebodys hand. You just smile and write your name and people will talk about it for the rest of their lives.

It's really hard to watch yourself on TV. It's definitely different in that the world has to watch, too.
