You can write the best column in the world on Monday, and it does you absolutely no good on Tuesday. There is no way to win. You just write until you are tired, they fire you, or you die.
I write 200 columns a year, you know. That means I have to have 200 opinions a year. Sometimes, I don't give a damn one way or the other, but that's my job, so I got to take a side.
The South is the last place with a sense of place.
I think people are a lot more sensitive than they used to be, and quite rightly so. I don't think we should be using racial jokes and things like that.
I'd like to know what I could do if I really had the time to spend on writing a book, with no columns or shows to do at the same time.
Show business is my life.
