I mean, does it creep you out when complete strangers tell you how much they like you? I met you at a performance and you were very polite but of course, I wanted more. That one moment and it's over and you feel like you wasted it. What do you think about your fans? I mean, does it creep you out when complete strangers tell you how much they like you?

Droll, wry and wonderful was your book. Went back to Tolstoy and realized that Tolstoy can be as wry and droll as you. Example, "But despite the fact that the doctors treated him, bled him, and gave him medicines to drink, he recovered." You both have (and had for T) such acute perception of human behavior. It is all about 'seeing' , isn't it, (no matter what kind of artistic endeavor one is pursuing) ?

It would seem inevitable that 'Santaland Diaries' will be made into a movie one day. How do you feel about this, and what hunky 20-something lead actor can you picture playing you in the lead role?
