The fact that I had a gay agent was good because he could say: 'Honey, you've got an audition today. Keep your feet on the ground, O.K.?'
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
I had an awful experience where I went to the U.K. and did reality. I can't even get into it - it was called 'Celebrity Big Brother U.K.'
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
I feel as if I've been to Miami a million times because I do so many cruises out of Miami.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
What's been interesting is that the more famous the person is, the less they seem to care if I talk about them.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
One of the main reasons I started writing these one-man shows was that this really evil casting director once said to me, 'you're peripheral and you'll always be peripheral. You'll come in with the zingers and have very little to do, so just accept that and take the money.'
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
I wasn't what you would envision for the son of an Army man. I liked doll baby clothes and twirled a baton. But my aunts and uncles tell me how much he loved me.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
I'm one of the most popular cabaret performers, and I don't sing a note. And nobody expects me to sing.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
I've always sang a little like a 16-year-old girl, but even Ann-Margret stopped after a while and brought it down a bit.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
I do so many cruises out of Miami, all the RSVP ones. And I'm on the cruises out of Fort Lauderdale all the time. I'm always doing cruise after cruise out of there.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
I have a standup I do in gay bars, and it's filthy. I have to assess the crowd. If it's an all-gay crowd, I'll dip into the stories of my sordid past.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
Beverley Leslie was closeted. I'm not closeted. He was a little homophobic. He's a social climber. I'm nothing like that. He had a mean streak. I don't think I'm mean at all.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
I've never been known for being a team player, but I've adjusted to being part of a big cast and it has worked out beautifully.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
My theater professor once said to me 'Leslie, you are capable of genuine artistry but you're the laziest actor I know. And yes, you can make people laugh, but you're going to become a parody of yourself and end up in Hollywood if you're not careful.' And he's right, I did all of that.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
I always thought I'd be good at musicals, and it turns out I make up for my lack of skill with enthusiasm.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
The church was everything: our social engagements, Sunday morning, Sunday evening. Wednesday night was the hour of power. We had Bible study on certain days. Saturday afternoon was choir practice. I wanted desperately to be a good Christian.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
I had a degree from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where they said, 'Mr. Jordan, please learn to pronounce your degree.' 'Cause I said I have a degree in 'thee-a-ter.'
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
Growing up, the main thing I was ashamed of was my voice. It is very effeminate.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
We figured out as a community of gay people, we have to take care of our own.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
I'd do an exercise video because there are so many gay men with these perfect abs and they do exercise videos. So I did an exercise video where my stomach looked like my water's about to break.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
People are really surprised when they meet me that I'm a recluse. People think I'm very gregarious and outgoing - and I am - I'm thinking about writing a book about it called 'The Gregarious Recluse.' How the more that you put me out there in front of audiences, the more that when I have down time I have to disappear.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
I grew up riding. From the time I was nineteen years old to the time I was twenty five I exercised race horses.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
Time has taught me that parents do the best they can with the light they are seeing with. That is what we all do.
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
In my head I have had the most torrid affairs with actors I have worked with. You should hear what George Clooney and I have got up to!
Quote by -Leslie Jordan
In my day there was no one to tell me anything and I feel I have a responsibility to help a new generation. A lady in Atlanta came up to me and said: 'Honey, you are a ministry.' It is about the knowledge I can give others. I think gays will look after their own.
