"Theater has to resonate in your heart in a way that movies don’t." ― Harvey Fierstein Topic(s): Movies More From Harvey Fierstein "My play Safe Sex was picked apart because critics thought it was untrue. It was a play in which no one had AIDS, but the characters talked about how it was going to change their lives." "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." "Movies are all about plot. Theater, even if it’s story heavy, it’s about ideas." More In Movies "I have no idea why I write. The old standards are: I like to express my feelings, stretch my imagination, earn money."― S. E. Hinton "I appreciate a slow-burn romance. In most movies, everyone is just tearing their clothes off in the first scene."― Emily Blunt "I’m fighting the label of “Black” actress simply because it’s very limiting in people’s eyes, especially people who are making movies."― Whoopi Goldberg
