I was bullied as a kid, and I got a job on television. And I had a camera. And so I wanted to go after those business bullies. And I just have been following that instinct.

I had a certificate that said, 'Doctor of Mixology, Harvard University,' that I actually got from Harvard University. A friend of mine was a research assistant over there and it was one of those student or university perks and she brought me in on that.

When you work with a band, obviously you've got to present them with something they can get a hold of, so it has to be a little more fleshed out as a song.

I've got a book of poetry by the bed, one of these big collections that goes back to the Greeks and Romans.
I was walking home from school when I was about 17 with two friends, and they took a left into an electrical shop. While we were chatting away, they grabbed a couple of forms and I was handed one.
