"You eventually get used to looking at girls picking their leotards out of their bums and that sort of stuff"
About this Quote
There is something almost aggressively mundane about the way Adam Garcia frames what could be scandal, titillation, or taboo: it is “that sort of stuff.” The line’s power comes from its anti-glamour. A male actor, speaking from inside performance culture, swats away the audience’s imagined erotic charge and replaces it with workplace reality: repetition dulls everything, even bodies.
The specific intent reads as a behind-the-scenes truth-telling move. Garcia is likely talking about rehearsal rooms, dance companies, or stage environments where costumes are tight, practical, and frequently misbehave. The bluntness of “picking their leotards out of their bums” functions like a pin to the balloon of voyeurism. If you thought dance was all sleek lines and sexual electricity, here’s the actual texture: fabric, sweat, discomfort, constant adjustment.
The subtext is more complicated than simple candor. “You eventually get used to” is a normalization claim, and it quietly asserts insider status: he’s been around, he’s professional, he’s not scandalized. It also sidesteps the power dynamics baked into who gets to narrate women’s bodies as background noise. The quote flirts with laddish humor, but the punchline is really about desensitization - the way intensive proximity makes even the intimate feel procedural.
Contextually, it lands in that late-90s/early-2000s celebrity-interview mode where performers sold authenticity through cheeky oversharing. Garcia’s line is memorable because it refuses glamour while still trading in it.
