The writing is the most important bit, and performing it is just closing the circle because I'm less likely to screw it up than anyone else.

The great thing about Florida is you - each city's about two hours' drive from everywhere else.

Although I had good hand-eye coordination, I was so tall and skinny and muscularly weak that I just was not well coordinated. But what I started to do quite early on was watch some of the great old silent comedians, like Laurel and Hardy and Chaplin, and then later on Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton.
