There's enormous energy required to carry grudges - enormous energy! And I'm getting too old to expend my energy that way, cause I think every person has a limited amount of energy. So I have given up all grudges.

I think that every Saturday, we ought to say, 'My father's a Jew, my mother was a Jew, and I'm a Jew,' with great pride.

Every time I think that I'm getting old, and gradually going to the grave, something else happens.

I think you have a limited amount of impact as an entertainer, performer, or musician.

I think I have a very good reputation amongst the gay population and among the whole country because I stood up on the issue of gay rights. It is not easy to stand up on that issue when you are single and male in New York City. I did it anyway.

Someone once said that you can make the choice between getting old and getting creepy, and I think getting old is the way to go.
