He singles out "With every set of tits comes a gaping hole of need that even Kenny Powers can fill" and "Can I do you from behind with a Scream mask?" as his favorite lines, and picks Powers' perennial punching bag Stevie Janowski (all the proof of that is here) as the character he would most like to portray. Video of the interview is below.

More ribald suggestion that could be a downfall for this project about the Alice in Wonderland author.
