[1] Andrea Bernstein, interview, Mother Jones magazine, July/August 1995, describing him as "a gay Jewish socialist who was raised in Louisiana." When asked about political reactions, he responded "One of the things I learned in Slavs! is that it's much easier to talk about being gay than it is to talk about being a socialist. People are afraid of socialism, and plays that deal with economics are scarier to them."
