Labels don't really impress, it's the uniqueness and risk in decor that inspire.

I live a bi-coastal and sometimes tri-coastal life.

As a rule, I try to avoid the French Quarter because of the crowds, especially Bourbon Street. But hey, some people love it. A great, wild, adult thing to see is the costume competition in front of the bar Oz on Bourbon early morning on Fat Tuesday.

There are many Broadway songs that apply to moments on 'Mad Men,' and I sing them on set all the time.

I didn't have any role models. I really thought I was doomed to this loveless, lonely life. I didn't know any gay people until I began doing theater.

We have a costume closet at home. My family will put on a costume for any excuse.

My mantra is, 'Don't be afraid of color.' What did it do to you? Do a color testing in alternate kinds of light you desire in the room because the pigment will change. And I refuse to believe that pale pale or white colors in a small room will buy you more square footage. Go with color all the way.
