On methy hijinks at HX headquarters:
When we were down in Chelsea, the office environment itself was crazier than any of the interviews. Pushy party promoters would come in, tweaking, still up from the night before, demanding articles on their tired parties…Some weird guy went around offering everyone free neck massages as payment for an ad in the classified section. But I’ll always remember when the escorts from the back of the magazine would come in to pay for or set up their ads. No one looked like his picture, and there’d be a guy named Carlos who escorted as Juan and a guy named Juan who went by Carlos. It was so confusing and hilarious and tragic.
On why Alan Cummings, whom I’ve always thought was a heinous human being, is a heinous human being:
But one night I had to follow Alan Cummings and his entourage around town for an HX cover story to promote ‘Threepenny Opera.’ … At the end of the night I asked if I could take a picture with him for my personal scrapbook. He actually said, ‘No.’ No explanation. Just didn’t want to. Mind you, this was a cover and six-page spread I was doing for a show that was just awful … There’s nothing worse than a rich queen who takes himself too seriously. Google my interview with Jeffrey Kalinsky for proof.
On Janice Dickinson, who’s hung up on The Sword as well:
I love that hot mess. I spoke to her by phone for an ‘HX’ cover when her reality show debuted in 2006. At one point she told me to keep my ‘filthy faggot hands’ off her hot son, but I didn’t take that personally. Then when I asked her if, in her expert opinion, she thought Ashlee Simpson had really just gotten a nose job, she called me an asshole for asking such a stupid question and hung up on me! It’s still a highlight of my career.
