STEREOGUM: How was the experience of working with Mark? Did you guys know each other before?
RUFUS: Oh fantastic. It was one of the great joys of my life; I have to say, at this point. Mark and I have developed this intense bromance that’s making our respective others – I wouldn’t say nervous but definitely attentive to the situation. We really do adore each other and … I don’t know, I think it’s about — speaking from the gay man’s perspective — it’s been really lovely because you forget about how, especially in our relationships with other men, it often kind of gets mixed up. Is this sexual? is this brother? is this father? what does this mean? And between Mark and I it’s just a very defined brotherly affection. And it’s just lovely to have that in my life again. And I don’t know, its just mano-to-mano … but without any manos.
You guysssss ಥ_ಥ
