I don't mind playing gay because there's a whole plethora of gay roles out there, but if I get asked to play one more Southern hairdresser, I'm going to scream.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
Big Brother' has put me off people. I thought, 'I'm gonna get a dog.' I really think I'm going to become more reclusive. It was nothing like I expected. I was so naive about it.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
The thing that I love about 'Will & Grace' is that there's a clear-cut reason for my character to be there. I come in with the zinger. My character seldom has much to do with moving the story ahead. I know exactly what my job is there. It's just a party, basically. I'm just having a ball.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
People say, 'Oh, you do theater!' And I say, 'Honey, I do theater to get better TV and film roles.'
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
That's the secret to happiness. Find something you can make money at that you really love to do.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
My mother and grandmother created this secret garden where it was OK for boys to play with dolls, and it was OK for little boys to sew potholders.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
In 1993, I premiered my solo piece 'Hysterical Blindness and Other Southern Tragedies That Have Plagued My Life So Far' at the Hudson Mainstage Theatre. It then went to New York and ran for several months Off-Broadway.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
I had 20,000 followers and I treasured that. People'd say, 'Oh that's nothing.' I said, 'What are you crazy? That's 20,000 people that wanna hear what I gotta say!'
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
I don't watch scripted television, and I finally figured out why. It's my line of work, you know? It's what I do.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
You know, you learned that very young in American culture that the feminine boys don't do well. And yet, I had a dad who was a lieutenant colonel in the army. My dad was a man's man, but he still adored me. And somehow in the midst of that, I still grew up hating the sissy in me.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
I always call my journey into sobriety, my journey into queerdom, because I really did hate everything about myself.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
Nobody really knows if there's a God - not Oprah, not Joel Osteen, not the Pope. Nobody has touched or felt or conversed with God. They say they have, but let's get real. I think that is what keeps me from coming out as an atheist. I think to myself, even the atheists don't know that there isn't a God. Nobody knows anything.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
I figured out quick I had to write my own ticket. I realized I could tell stories and make money from it.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
One job I did turn down was 'How I Met Your Mother.' My character was 'creepy gay guy.' That was the character. The script said, 'Creepy gay guy gets in elevator every day with Jason Segel character and he's just being creepy.'
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
I can tell when I meet you, within three minutes, how you were raised. When I met Lady Gaga on the 'American Horror' set... beautifully brought up.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
In a perfect world we'd want gay people to play gay people, but I think that's a good rule of thumb: Whoever gives the best audition should get the part. My problem is getting anybody to hire me for anything other than queens.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
In the 1980s we had the huge catastrophe of AIDS and you would walk down the street and see someone who was dying. It was horrendous.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
I will never be a Robert De Niro or Meryl Streep, the kind of actor that disappears into a role.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
My mother had found this album of all these old slides from the '50s of me as a kid and I said, 'We should have these made into pictures because the color's so beautiful.' There were pictures of me from 1955 as a little baby wearing all these elaborate outfits, and in these pictures was this amazing story of a gay man and his mother.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
I don't know what the other celebrity's lives are like but I lead a true celebrity life. I get pampered. I'm always alone.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
What amazes me with 'Will & Grace' fans is how young they are and how straight they are. The guys always come up and go, 'You are so funny on that show. My girlfriend watches that show.'
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
My sister was cute, she said, 'Oh my gosh, you're an overnight success.' 'Oh,' I said, 'this is the longest night.' I've been at it since 1982.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
There are many paths to God. What really bothers me - and what I think is the height of arrogance and stupidity - is when one group believes their way is the only way. That really gets my dander up.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
There are two or three ways to combat homophobia - one is through humor. The second is to put a face on it.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
You almost had to have grown up in the church like I did to realize how dark that is, how dark it is to be a kid and be told that God hates you or that there's something wrong with you.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
It's so nice that today, young gay men have a choice about who they want to hang out with.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
I knew I was as gay as a goose. Then I ended up in West Hollywood, where the queers hang from the trees. I was home. I had landed.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
My daddy - whenever he wanted to teach us a lesson, he'd tell us a story. It's an Old South tradition.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
I talk about things that happened in my life. Now, do I embellish? Absolutely. Come on, we all do it. It makes for a better story. But it always comes from a germ of truth.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
At one time, when I was younger, I exercised regularly and had a 27-inch waist.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
I honor the sanctity of all religions - I'm not here to put them down. But the only religion that I personally embrace is the religion of kindness.
