Early life
Lane was born Joseph Lane in Jersey City, New Jersey on February 3, 1956. His father, Daniel, was a truck driver and an aspiring tenor who died from alcoholism when Lane was eleven. His mother, Nora, was a housewife and secretary who suffered from manic-depression and died in 2000. He has two older brothers, Daniel Jr. and Robert. Lane's parents were Catholics of Irish descent. He was named after his uncle, a Jesuit priest. Lane attended Catholic schools in Jersey City, including Jesuit-run St. Peter's Preparatory High School, where he was voted Best Actor in 1974, and years later received the 2011 Prep Hall of Fame Professional Achievement Award.

Famous quotes by Nathan Lane:
"Look, I'm 40, I'm single, and I work in musical theater - you do the math!"
"Yes, it's throbbing, ... And I mean that in the nicest possible way."
"They came to see that family need not be defined merely as those with whom they share blood but for those for whom they would give their blood."
"All that stuff was fun, but I'm glad we didn't rethink the show. It is what it is, a throwback that isn't like anything else out there. It has that deliberate, artificial feel to it. It's something from the soundstage era. People haven't seen that for a while, so it seems fresh. It came along at the right time."
"Run! When she wrote about me, I was the clown who cried, and you'll be the costumer who cried. 'Oh, poor William! Fourteen houses and no boyfriend!"
"It's hard to top this. There is no bigger deal in jazz."
"I'm not going to wear this in the show, ... Have you met my finger puppet Melvin?"
"There doesn't seem to be a lot of middle ground with me."
"There are some people that the press like to pick on and not just the gay press, but the press in general. And some people, the press just doesn't care about at all."
"I am not a sad clown. I am not a sad clown."
"People always think I'm Jewish and changed my last name from Rabinowitz."
"I'm still the fat kid from high school who never had a date."
"People have to do things in their own time, and that's what I did."
"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."
