I had a costume suit made from someone who works with the Washington Opera. I'm a six-foot lobster with a tuxedo.

God, I wish I was Bugs Bunny.

Maybe it's the sense of freedom, of sexual liberation. I mean I'm dressed up like a goddamned lobster! What's not gay about that?

I think the neo-burlesque scene is funny. People want to see stuff they won't do themselves.

But I never aspired to be a soap opera star. I always wanted to do good dramatic roles on TV and in the movies.

Opera is where a guy gets stabbed in the back, and instead of dying, he sings.
