“I made jokes about kissing Murphy Brown. But if that’s what cost me my job, my wife will probably say, “Hey asshole, I told you so”.”

I’ve seen some very beautiful drag queens.

People make snap judgments about me that are frequently misguided.

I don’t have any delusions of grandeur or delusions of failure. In terms of my work, I’ve got a pretty cold honest eye.

There was one person [opening] the door with a butter knife and another person kicking the door in so I could get a photo. He’s decapitated, but totally nude. And he’s really well-endowed.

It’s a blessing as an artist to express myself – whether that be via dance, via song or via speech – in so many different ways.

I don’t feel complete. It doesn’t feel like the electricity is making its connections

I’m not a performer who will come on stage and tell you everything about my life. It’s just not who I am.

Anything that I do, I try to make it as good as I possibly can.

Part of the success of the show is that the audience sees themselves in the characters, becomes the characters. The more they inhabit the characters, the more they see.

Kirstie [Alley] saved me, in a way. [At the time], I had a terrible marriage, and I stayed at her house.

I loved Jay Thomas as Eddie LeBec. But there was a point where they [thought] maybe we would live together, and I didn’t like the idea of Carla being with somebody because that would make you feel like [you’re] not part of the people in the bar.

I’ve been very fortunate in my collaborators throughout my career.

Stage and film are just two wildly different animals. Why compare the two?

Certainly the life of a dancer is very difficult. The training is very hard and relentlessly grueling.

That was the aura of Cheers: It was special. It was more than TV; you could get people to guest on the show you couldn’t normally get.

If I’m not in shape, it feels like something is wrong. If I haven’t been able to get to class for a while or I’ve been sick.

I have already prepared my counter proposal. It reads thusly: you may strategically place your wonderful lips upon my posterior and kiss it repeatedly!

Take your tongue out of my mouth, I’m kissing you good-bye.

It’s absolutely wrong to see all of these large corporations folding into basically what the Democrats want, and that’s kissing the ring.

Summer was felt a little more; in autumn I began to fall. When winter came with all its white, you were mine to kiss goodnight.

It makes them feel a little free, to kiss something dangerous on the mouth.

If it’s putting on a great dance record and rocking out in your apartment, do it. If kissing someone for 10 minutes makes you feel confident, do it.

The best beauty secret, besides sleep and plenty of water, is do whatever it is – before you go out, before you need to feel beautiful – do whatever makes you feel confident.

In the world of art, all things are possible.–George from Paradise Kiss
