You shave your head for this film. Was that terrifying?
Everyone thought I was going to find it traumatic. They even bought me a bottle of vodka. But it was actually the fifth time I'd shaved my head, and Milly is a ballsy woman.
Milly and Jess [Barrymore] have some wild adventures. What's the wildest thing you've done?

You've been in many queer films. Are you very aware of your gay fan base?
Yes, and I am most honored! When Muriel's Wedding came out in America, two boys in New York stopped me to squeal about it. It was overwhelming--like, Oh Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore.
Wikipedia claims you faked appendicitis as a child and actually had your appendix removed. Your first grand performance?
