Nathan Lane Thinking Quotations

He's so interesting because you think you know Dennis Hopper, but you don't really know Dennis Hopper. I don't really know Dennis Hopper, I just know him from the silver screen.

My oldest brother used to take me to the theater. The first play he took me to see was 'Black Comedy,' then he took me to see 'Butley.' We'd see all these British plays. And 'Hello, Dolly,' with Pearl Bailey. I was unconsciously thinking, 'Gee, I would love to be able to do that.'

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

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

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