"Walt Whitman's home in Camden. 'Leaves of Grass' is fantastic. It's some of the most sensual poetry I've ever read. I have a very old copy from the 1940s, handed down by my grandfather."

"Liberace's birthplace. It's sad that people have forgotten about him. He was amazing. His music was a bridge between opera and classical. And he turned fashion into an art form. In a way, he was a trendsetter for the gothic look."

"The area in Portland, Ore., where Gus van Sant shot his first feature film, 'Mala Noche.' It's a great movie. Everyone in Portland knows about van Sant. He's a wonderful filmmaker, someone I really admire."
