I've buried six Guardian Angels who have been shot and killed in the line of duty. I was stalked myself, had a gunman go pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, five hollow point bullets, God save me.

I'm the opposite of those writers who believe that my work is sacrosanct and cannot be touched.
I am who I am, in terms of shooting from the hip occasionally.

When I see some of the people who are glorified in magazines these days - who are so thin it's bordering on sickness - I just feel exhausted.
