The matter-of-factness of McEvil’s descriptions of a lifestyle which is on one the hand excessive (“I love hard liquor”) and on the other secluded (“when I’m private, I’m extremely private”), contrasts with the colorful opulence of the house, yard and stage show.

Die Sachlichkeit von McEvil’s Beschreibungen des einerseits exzessiven („Ich liebe Schnäpse“), andererseits zurückgezogenen („Wenn ich privat bin, bin ich sehr privat“) Lebensstils konterkariert die farbliche Üppigkeit von Garten, Haus und Bühnenakt.
