To work all the time is to be incredibly lucky.

I have to work really hard, eight shows a week, to get a nice check as an actor. But when I write a play, and it’s a – knock wood – hit, the checks come in for many years.

So, did I work with Warhol? I worked with him less on that play then I did on other things. He actually did a portrait of my rabbit and some other stuff. Warhol was definitely… Warhol.

I actually may do a musical next year… not one that I’ve written one that I may star in. Plus my concert and other people’s work and all of a sudden you’ve got a very full life.

I burned out on AIDS and did no AIDS work for a couple of years. I was so angry that people were still getting this disease that nobody can give you – you have to go out and get it!
