It's good to get away from the editing suite. It's very unhealthy to be sitting in front of the screen for too long.

From my image of digging around in the mud like a grunt, I preferred fighting the war from ships.

I'm also doing a special for Comedy Central called Autobiography. It's going to be a spoof of Biography.

I'm grateful to be of use. I will not be misused or abused, but I will be of use to anybody.
