I am a writer. That's what I do. It's a writer's job not just to write about himself but to look at the rest of humanity and explore it—other people's way of talking, the phrases they use. And my head is a sponge. I listen to what everyone says, I watch little idiosyncratic behavior; people tell me a joke, and I remember it. People tell me an interesting story in their life, and I remember it.
