I have three desks. One empty for paperwork, one for the internet and email, and one for the writing computer.

I had a brief theater background and loved the backstage world there's more backstage work in television, so I saw a job advertised and applied, and got it. That was back in 1977, when getting jobs was easy.

What do I miss about the UK? Sadly, almost nothing. Maybe the midnight sun, in June in the north. That's all.

Lone women shouldn't stop in the middle of nowhere for giant unkempt strangers with duct tape on their faces.

I don't want to put the world to rights... I just don't like people who put the world to wrongs.

I'm not afraid of death. Death's afraid of me.

I was in the machine. My whole life. Then the machine coughed and spat me out. So I thought, OK, if I'm out, I'm out. All the way out. I was a little angry and it was probably an immature reaction. But I got used to it.
