“I wanted to perform the way my mortals, Tough Cookie and Alex and Larry, wanted to perform. After the gruelling work of building the records and films, I wanted us to raise our voices together before the screaming throng. And at odd moments I remembered those long-ago nights at Renaud's little theatre too clearly. The strangest details came back, the feel of the white paint as I had smoothed it over my face, the smell of the powder, the instant of stepping before the footlights.”
Well, this improvisation isn’t particularly apt for the quote… but I was thinking about memory and Renaud's.
And, honestly, I was thinking - wouldn’t this be an impactful scene on TV - Lestat, preparing to take to the stage as a rockstar, intercut with him getting himself ready to be Lelio (if he’ll definitely be Lelio, that is…)
It feels a while since Rockstar Lestat came out to play.
