I'm so glad I was done with the dishes and answered the phone." - Cyndi Lauper, who teamed up with Tony-winning Fierstein, to create the best musical "Kinky Boots." --- "Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's the portion of the evening where two actors who are not nominated for their performances on Broadway this season very graciously give a Tony to someone who was." - Alan Cumming, presenting with Scarlett Johansson. --- "You are my rock, my sword, my shield. Your grace gives me presence. I share this award with you. I'm gonna keep it at my house! But I share it with you." - Billy Porter to his "Kinky Boots" co-star Stark Sands, whom he beat for best leading man in a musical. --- "`Please wrap it up,' it says.
