Famous quotes by Nathan Lane:

"I'm not going to wear this in the show, ... Have you met my finger puppet Melvin?"

"It's hard to top this. There is no bigger deal in jazz."

"Run! When she wrote about me, I was the clown who cried, and you'll be the costumer who cried. 'Oh, poor William! Fourteen houses and no boyfriend!"

"All that stuff was fun, but I'm glad we didn't rethink the show. It is what it is, a throwback that isn't like anything else out there. It has that deliberate, artificial feel to it. It's something from the soundstage era. People haven't seen that for a while, so it seems fresh. It came along at the right time."

"They came to see that family need not be defined merely as those with whom they share blood but for those for whom they would give their blood."

"Yes, it's throbbing, ... And I mean that in the nicest possible way."

"Look, I'm 40, I'm single, and I work in musical theater - you do the math!"

"It's a cliche, but there really is no handbook about the celebrity thing; you have to figure it out as you go along."

"I seem to always inspire a strong reaction one way or the other."

"I'm one of those old-fashioned homosexuals, not one of the newfangled ones who are born joining parades."

"I didn't know Charlie before doing the movie, but I was a huge fan of the British Queer as Folk."

"Sure I think it is healthy to speak the truth, and be who you are, and be proud of that."

"All I can do is try to create the best show possible, and I feel we've truly done that."

"I'm still the fat kid from high school who never had a date."

"People have to do things in their own time, and that's what I did."

"People think they know who I am, because I've played so many very, very out gay men on stage, and they think that's me."

"People always think I'm Jewish and changed my last name from Rabinowitz."

"I am not a sad clown. I am not a sad clown."

"There are some people that the press like to pick on and not just the gay press, but the press in general. And some people, the press just doesn't care about at all."
