"Movies are all about plot. Theater, even if it’s story heavy, it’s about ideas." ― Harvey Fierstein Topic(s): Movies More From Harvey Fierstein "You know, I always got offered other stuff. Not the romantic leads, obviously. But very often it’s a role that’s underwritten, where the character has no personality at all. And they need a character actor who can fill it in." "Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself." "My father was brought up in an orphanage in the Catskills. He was a factory worker. And because his family wasn’t there for him, family was everything. We could disagree inside the house, but outside the house it was us against the world. So when I became a drag actor, he looked sideways but said okay." More In Movies "So, where’s the Cannes Film Festival being held this year?"― Christina Aguilera "I always loved silent movies. I was not a specialist, but I loved them. And when I started directing, I became really fascinated by the format – how it works, the device of the silent movie."― Michel Hazanavicius "Sexiness, particularly in movies, is the chess game in the ‘Thomas Crown Affair’. It’s, it’s, I don’t know, but Faye Dunaway comes up a lot in that thinking. It’s the subtlety of sexiness. The moment you try to be sexy, then it’s not."― Daniel Craig
