Leslie Jordan Quotes

• 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. 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.

• When I hit Hollywood, it was full-blown. I was a party boy. It amazes me that I made it ... to be able to have led this amazing career when I was out every night. Every once in a while I'll see old reruns of myself and I see I'm giving it my comedy best, but with dead eyes - no sparkle. I was in the middle of all that abuse. But now I'm a recovering alcoholic with many years of sobriety.

• Me crié en una religión que nunca sentí que me abrazara. Eso no fue culpa suya. Tuve una infancia increíble. Mi madre es de su generación. Si voy a pedirle que me acepte tal como soy, tengo que darle lo mismo. Ha leído parte del libro, ¡pero mis hermanas le dijeron qué capítulos no debía leer!

• When I was writing the book, I thought "Who wants to hear another story about some actor who lost his way?" But my story is a little unique in that I realized when I was 14 years old that I was different. I think a lot of gay people use drugs and alcohol to quell that fear and shame - especially people of my age.
