Trevor is the most famous doorman in New York claiming that not only does he know people, but “I know people that know me.” Trevor is also flaky, air-headed, cocky, and fails to mention to the documentary crew following him around that he was fired from his job.

He also discusses his ideas about the nature of public image, his creative cooperation with the audience, and why words can never accurately express how music affects people.
