“We all exist in a kind of photo-developing bath of sexual contradictions, & the more of them that we recognize, the more fun we can have.”
Advice on playing Dr. Frank-N-Furter: “if you’re going to attempt to truly enter the character, wear your high heels like a man.”
I also love his aside to the drag community, expressing his admiration for true drag artists & his appreciation of their support.

Curry’s family history & childhood are interesting & divert from the period typical stereotypes. His maternal grandfather raised 2 girls as a single dad in the 1920s - fairly unheard of if resulting from a divorce (rare at the time). His father was the empathetic & understanding parent while his mother was mercurial. He lost his father at age 11 & had to grieve alone, finding solace in music & theater.

Not gonna lie, reading the words “I’m very much still alive,” within weeks of losing Mr. Curry hits a little hard.
“While there are scraps of my nature in all of my characters, I am none of them.” This line & subsequent paragraph needs to be read & internalized by many people in fandoms. The wrath actors get for taking certain types of roles or not always acting like a specific character is ridiculous.
