People was talking about your pubic hair when it got blurred on The Tonight Show. Should we all be showing more or less bush?

More! I'm a fan of natural hair. I like a bush. I like the whole deal. I believe if I didn’t have a bush, they wouldn’t have censored it. Does that make sense? The body hair itself, that is too scandalous.

I didn’t even notice that it was censored! I felt thrilled. I thought, “Well, perhaps they'll use a large censor bar.” But they just discreetly blurred that part. I was eager to perform there and happy it was broadcast, although they needed to blur out the hair. I’m very pro-bush.

On Comparisons and Spiritual Connections

Some people have said you resemble the famous aviator. Do you think you share anything on a deeper level?

I mean, I might attempt her actions. I would probably die but I would do it.

Sometimes I get harsh, wrong comparisons. Online users are so demonic. A particular example was just a corpse, like a mummy with a ring on. A mummy with gay vibes.

Album Titles & Previous Events

One of your albums is called a passionate phrase. Did you ever light anything on fire?

My mother's home. When I was living there I extinguished a cigarette, but it reignited. I fell asleep. I woke up by a neighbor at the door as a section was on fire. I started hosing it down. Officers arrived and hosed it down. I damaged the whole house. This was before my career, prior to recovery.

Personal Nemeses

Can you name someone you oppose?

The filmmaker from that documentary. And Frank Sinatra.

The documentarian presented the film as if he was undertaking it to improve his relationship with his family yet he simply devotes his time underwater alongside the creature. And then at the end the octopus dies because he doesn’t want to meddle with the wild. However, there exist long scenes of him rubbing his body all up and down the animal, seeming like unnecessary involvement.

Dream Pets

If you could change an animal's dimensions for a companion, what would it be?

I love monkeys. I don’t think it’s ethical to keep one of any size though suppose we’re not being ethical currently. I love gibbons. Yet it wouldn't serve as a domestic animal. It'd become a housemate. I would want that it makes its own choices. It doesn’t have to pay. It would resemble a family member.

Love and Marriage

Last month you posted photos from your wedding. (Best wishes!) What's the greatest action you’ve done for love?

It’s like black magic when I’m in love, because it’s months before I even acknowledge my feelings yet I'm constantly thinking is them. With [my husband] Alan, it seemed I focused my aims. I was burning little pieces of paper. I practiced spells. It worked. Any time I've been really into someone, it's similar to a full-time task personally.

Hypothetical Show Appearances

If you had to be into a reality program tomorrow, which one would it be?

I'd perform poorly on any show. My husband would excel, I would hand him out to all of those. I think he would win so much money. Like, that dating show, the bachelor program. I'm not skilled at anything flirty. I fall a lot, I run into things. I can’t really be intentionally attractive.

It would probably be the surveillance show. I would do Survivor but I burn easily and I’m a sickly little Victorian child. I’d probably get an old illness or some old-timey disease. These shows are somewhat similar though one requires indoors.

Unusual Jobs

Which was the oddest work you've done?

Oh, there were several. I was employed as a telemarketer at a lending firm but I’m 99% sure it was fraudulent, because I was just supposed to get people’s social security numbers. That’s really all they wanted me to do. The operators were recently released of prison and my payments would bounce.

Additionally, I worked for a dating ad service before smartphones, thus many individuals didn’t have scanners. They would send their pictures to me to scan and upload. I wasn’t supposed to yet I brought them home, so I possessed an entire collection of pictures of people. I accessed their correspondence too. I wasn’t supposed to to do this yet I certainly had preferred individuals I monitored.

Favorite Duos

You tweeted: “Two gay guys … what a combo.” Who is your favourite combo of two gay guys?

It's well-known that I'm a huge Brokeback Mountain fan. I wept for months after Brokeback Mountain. It deeply affected for me. I would be doing the dishes and suddenly collapse thinking about it. Before that, I hadn’t seen such a big-budget, well-made LGBTQ+ film. For a week straight I only listened to a dance remix of the soundtrack.

Can you name other gay men? This on-the-spot thinking challenge me now. I just took Tylenol. They cause autism? Okay, too late for me.

Signature Sandwiches

If you had a food item in your honor, what would be in it?

I don’t like overly complex sandwiches. I like greens, tomatoes, onions, cold cuts, mayo, a bit of herbs, dressing. It'd simply be a straight-up sandwich – which is kind of weird, because I’m sure people would think I'd include flowers in it or something.

Many don't believe my name should be Mike. It ought to be some something Tilda Swinton-y. But I’m just an ordinary person type of individual.
