I like food, like any other guy, but it is not the main thing in my life. I can do without it.

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

Imagine the uproar if the Federal government tried to make everyone wear a radio transmitter around their neck so we can keep track of their movements. But people happily carry their cell phones in their purses and pockets.

I'm not a vagrant... I'm a hobo. Big difference.

I grew up in Birmingham, where they made useful things and made them well.

I have a kind of old-fashioned, artisan approach.

I was fired from my television job, simple as that. Well, downsized, really, a classic 1990s situation.
