A Snippet From A Song That Suits You Well:
They like to get you in a compromising position
They like to get you there and smile in your face
They think they’re so cute when they get you in that condition
I think it’s a total disgrace.
I fight authority, authority always wins
Been doing it since I was young kid and I come up grinnin’
I fight authority, authority always wins.

A sense of obligation."

What Do Your Friends Like About You? Honesty, clear sense of right and wrong, stand up for my beliefs, tasteless and juvenile sense of humour
What Do You Like About Yourself The Most? Ethical, compassionate/accepting, fiercely loyal

A Little Deeper…
What do you believe is your ideal career? I am studying to be a lawyer in order to do labor advocacy work. It’s my vocation, in the original sense of the word; the thing I know I must do.
What were you like as a child? Mom says the first thing I did once I could crawl was go to another room to be by myself. I read constantly, and played alone
Are you satisfied with your life? I want to do more, be more, write experience on my bones, set off fireworks in people’s heads and ride the wave while the world changes. If the loss of spark and passion is the price of satisfaction, I’d just as soon go hungry.
Someone kills someone who was important to you. How do you react? I would alternate between being a gibbering melted-down wreck and a functional, lucid ball of repressed emotion.

What is Your Favorite Childhood Memory? I grew up in an apartment on east tenth street in New York City, and it had a little garden with little paths and a little pond with a fountain. And I had a little plastic shield and a little wooden sword, and dragons and wicked sorcerers, and noble knights and faerie queens.
About Repo!…
What song do you find yourself singing when no one else is around? “Zydrate Anatomy” or “Mark It Up.” They’re damned catchy.
Which character can you imagine yourself hanging out with? I’d quite like to have Graverobber and Shiloh over for dinner some time, Shiloh could use feeding up and Graverobber probably has some of the best stories.
Who should be running GeneCo? No one. Let it die.
What are your feelings on ascots? Some men can wear them, others really should not.
If you could undergo any surgery without having to pay, what would you have done? I’d like my eyesight fixed, as I’m about two degrees from legally blind. I wouldn’t want anything enhanced, though.
Who from Repo! do you dislike the most? I like them all, honestly. There are no extraneous or shallow characters in Repo. It’s good opera.
You are able to go to dinner with one of the characters. Who is it? Rotti. He’s interesting, and I don’t think we learn nearly enough about him.
