I was on various anti-depressants, but not for long - I didn't function very well on them. I felt sort of flattened out.

Maybe I fear things going wrong so much that I pre-empt them by not getting excited about them when they appear to be. going well.

If I've inadvertently become some sort of role model for failed comedians, then it's really backfired very badly on me.

I tend not to trust people who live in very tidy houses. I know that on the surface there is nothing wrong with a person being well-ordered and disciplined. Nothing, except that it leaves the impression of that person having lived in the confines of a stark institution which, although he or she has long since left, remains within.

I really like rustic mediterranean cooking. And I like trying out curry takeaways.

I started out as an opportunistic renegade. By now, I've lasted long enough to become sort of an American Original Respectable Renegade.
