I've had the song "Light My Candle" stuck in my head all week.
Yeah, it's a good boy-meets-girl song.
How much wax did you spill on yourself?
Tons. It's all over my clothes, my rehearsal boots. I have these Uggs I used to wear all the time, especially in San Francisco where it's really cold. I got wax all over them.
Did you take pole-dancing classes for the role?
No. And I never did any practicing. I do research in different ways. I did as much studying as I could hanging out with my brother, who works at Scores.
Really! Do you have any new stripper friends?
Not so much.
