I'm very curious and fascinated by the creative process. To see somebody take words, a line, a story and make another human being out of them is one of the most fascinating, unbelievable things.

They let themselves be bare before me. They screamed and yelled and cried and moaned and sobbed and growled. I gave them a scene, a character and maybe a line and, boom, all of sudden there was another human being in front of me.

You can see cavities in their mouth when they're open.

But that will depend on whether this sort of thing ... resonates with voters. It may not, this may be a media flap, it may be a one-day story.

What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie?
I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky.
The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing;
Rush in and die, dogs—I was a man before I was a king.
