My Prize Possession: Glenn O’Brien

“I got this in 1979 and it has a lot of miles on it—some motorcycle miles, and it was my regular outerwear during the days when New York streets could be risky. It probably saved my life when I resisted a two perp mugging at knifepoint on Avenue D. (Or maybe it was the Sacred Heart of Jesus pinned inside it over my heart.) Some guys wore tagged leather jackets back then. One day I asked my friend Jean-Michel Basquiat to draw one of his crowns on the back of mine. Jean was so into kingship he smoked Chesterfield Kings. My friend George DuBose had nicknamed me Leroy because he said I acted like a king. This jacket made me feel even more like one.” - Glenn O’Brien

Long Live Basquiat.

“I get the appeal of cupcakes. They are pretty and made of cake.”

The GQ Advice Lady on why your girlfriend is acting like Zooey Deschanel.

A number of women really do seem to have Etsy-ed themselves into adult-sized six-year-olds. Do you even sense a widespread cultural aversion toward the word “woman” itself? (Ahem, New Girl, 2 Broke Girls.) Two out of every five women I meet run some sort of cutesy “Cupcakes That Look Like Ryan Gosling” Tumblr, or are obsessed—and emphatically vocalize said obsession, like “I’m OB-seeeesssed..”—with Twilight, or wear more glitter on their person than Ke$ha’s dirty bedsheets. And it’s somehow fashionable for grown ladies to traipse around town in onesie rompers like bizarre brobdingnagian toddlers. (WHAT IS THAT? STOP IT.) I also recall a popular women’s blog up until this year ran a regular shopping feature called “How to Spend Your Weekly Allowance.” Uh, ladies: If it doesn’t come from your parents in exchange for making your bed, it is called a salary. Oy.

The GQ Comedy Q&A: Ricky Gervais

Just for creating The Office, his comedy-god status can never be revoked—and his career has only mushroomed since. But the bigger Ricky Gervais gets, the harder it’s becoming to tell if he’s still sending up rich, self-important celebrities or turning into one. (In his forthcoming Netflix comedy, he plays an uplifting simpleton. Yikes.) Gervais, for his part, says not to worry. He’s still the same run-of-the-mill comic genius he’s always been:

GQ: Last night you tweeted “Hope you enjoy my stand-up. If you don’t please let me know because I don’t give a fuck.”

Ricky Gervais: Yeah. We’d been out to dinner, and I’d just got back. It was because I was getting loads of tweets that Science was on TV, and everybody was tweeting me lovely things, so instead of going, “Oh, thank you so much, I really appreciate it,” I thought it was more in character. My stand-up persona of not giving a fuck. I was going along with the persona of the comedian that says the unsayable. Which isn’t true. Comedians who say the unsayable don’t usually get TV specials. I’m very considered. I can justify every joke I’ve ever made, really.

GQ: You once went on a British chat show and when the host noted that you were looking newly fit and trim and asked how come, you replied, “AIDS.”

Ricky Gervais: The joke there is that it was small talk. If that was the answer, I wouldn’t have said it. But what’s wrong with it? How would people be offended?

GQ: Well, to joke about a disease that is killing loads of people…

Ricky Gervais: I do that all the time! I do it all the time. If you can’t joke about the most horrendous things in the world, what’s the point of jokes? What’s the point in having humor? Humor is to get us over terrible things. That’s all it’s for. That’s why you should laugh at funerals. Of course it’s the wrong thing to say. That’s why it’s funny.
