If the public likes you, you're good.

Critics themselves, they used to tear me up.

I'm a commercial writer, not an author. Margaret Mitchell was an author. She wrote one book.

My father was Catholic, my mother was Protestant, and because of that I got Christened in both churches, so I've got all these names... but my Dad always called me Mick.
