In honor of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt's final season hitting Netflix next week, we sat down with the incredible Tituss Burgess (and some puppies) and asked him all the ~burning questions~ the BuzzFeed Community had about his life, his upcoming projects, and, of course, his portrayal of Titus Andromedon.

Turns out, Tituss + puppies = total and complete joy. Watch it all below!

Have you ever missed a subtle joke in the show?

BuzzFeed

Tituss Burgess: Oh, all the time. Like I rarely get the jokes, no joke! Like I have to re-read the script over and over and over again because the jokes are so clever and they go by so fast.

How do you feel about the cast of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt?

BuzzFeed

TB: Rare is it that you walk into a set and you experience a kismet of sorts. Ellie Kemper was warm and so generous and so patient with me. Jane and I knew each other from the theater and from 30 Rock — she's like my naughty sister. I love those people and I cannot believe it's gone by so fast. It's gone so fast! Hopefully Netflix is forever. Online is forever, so hopefully you'll have it forever.

What is your dream role?

BuzzFeed

TB: I don't know that I have a dream role, guys, but I'll tell you what I do dream about though — it's always being able to communicate, however that manifests itself: cooking, a conversation, a great bowel movement, that's my dream. The day that I can't do that effectively is the day that I should stop. But that's my dream role, to be able to communicate with you guys and to make you feel satisfied. That's the truth!

Who would play you in a movie based on your life?

BuzzFeed

TB: Me. *laughs*

Would you be roommates with someone like Kimmy Schmidt in real life?

BuzzFeed

TB: Hell no! I like my personal space and I love my private time and she has no boundaries so that would never work. But puppies are always welcome!

Do you use any of Titus’ catchphrases in real life?

BuzzFeed

TB: No, I do not. I have too many of my own.

What is the biggest thing you value about yourself?

BuzzFeed

TB: I don't care what peple think about me. I never have. I value people's opinions, but I don't care what they think. As long as I can go to sleep at night and have this conscious clear, and my maker is pleased... that's a wrap!

What do you have in common with Titus Andromedon?

BuzzFeed

TB: I don't think he and I share much in common outside of our love for musical theater and Diana Ross. I love that what comes up, comes out. There's no filter. And in a world where people, in attempt to find their place and find their platform become overly sensitive, Titus Andromedon gave two fucks and told you exactly what he thought.

Where can we hear and see more of you?

BuzzFeed

TB: That's so funny. Well first of all, thank you so much for wanting to see anything that has to do with me. I have a lot of things in the works — and I know that sounds so ambigous, but it's true — and it takes for-fucking-ever to get anything done here in New York City and in Hollywood. But! I can assure you that you will be satiated when it happens and you will appreciate that fact that it took me so long to do it. There's a big ol' concert soon — and I can't tell you where and I can't tell you what, but you're going to be excited about that — and I am doing an album, and if all goes well it'll be out in May-ish.
