I actually get invited on TV a lot nowadays, and I don't do as much of it as I used to. And part of the reason is that once you've got the heroin of a long term conversation, why would you drop down to methadone? This is so much more fulfilling and satisfying.

And look, there's a market out there for that [but] I enjoy this.

armed men. — Bertran de Born
