The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.

OPEN THROAT 2: OPENER THROAT

Ooh it’s time again for me to recommend Henry Hoke’s Open Throat book! A queer lion in LA, subject to the same bullshit as everyone else in LA/on earth. Beautifully done. typebooks.ca/products/978...

insanely good thing to say when you enter a room

Assume all famous people are the enemy unless they are explicitly and emphatically pro-trans and anti-genocide

“I am so bored by AI. One of the things I love about the theatre is AI can’t do it.” Ethan Hawke is a dude 👌🏻
