My Dreams Are My Dress Rehearsals For

I Act Like I'm 14, If You Haven't Figured That Out Yet.

For My Father, Being Kind Was Natural... I Have To Really Work At It. I Love Competing And Winning, Conquest - Not Words You Usually Associate With Kindness.

I Was A Captive And A Slave. I Loved Dora Spenlow To Distraction! She Was More Than Human To Me. She Was A Fairy, A Sylph, I Dont Know What She Was--anything That No One Ever Saw, And Everything That Everybody Ever Wanted.

Actually, I Started As A Ventriloquist And My Music Teacher Said, "why Don't You Emcee The Talent Show?" My Act Was Out Of The Back Of Boys' Life Magazine-they Had A Whole Series Of Jokes In The Back Of Boys' Life Magazine For Boy Scouts. So My Act Was Jokes With My Ventriloquist Figure, And It Was Really Bad, But I Walked Into The Classroom Afterward And The Kids Went, "wow, You're Cool." I Wasn't Cool At All, But I Thought, "well, This Is A Pretty Good Deal."

No Self-respecting Gay Guy Would Have Ever Made Some Of The Hair And Clothing Choices I Am Still Trying To Live Down.
