I was a big fan of black gospel. As a kid, there were black groups I sang with from my teen years to my early 20s.

In my early 20s, I was a big fan of Theodore Dreiser and might be one of the few people on the planet who have voluntarily read all his novels.

The eighties were my teen years, so the GoGos are sort of a touchstone.

I was a happy kid up until I hit the teen years.

In my early teen years, I wanted to become a vet. That was my plan. I worked as a veterinarian's assistant for a couple of summers.

I'm a big fan of the DEA.
