I'm always working on a few different stories at once, so there's always some really big coffee table book I'm carrying around.

I'm in fact a hair under six feet, but I'm very svelte. People would never see me if I turned sideways.

I was not a jock in high school. I know, you're shocked.

Wheel of Fortune was an important SAT prep for me.

I was way too hyperactive to study for long. I would freak out, then crash, then be too tired to read or write. I really should have had less sugar.

I know a lot about a few things - mostly useless things.

I'd rather call myself a mischief-maker, an imp, rather than a satirist. Satirist sounds so self important. Plus no one is calling himself an imp right now. It makes me feel special.
