I read a little bit of nonfiction and a lot of poetry. I think of poetry as my shot of whiskey when I don't have time to savor a whole bottle of wine.
I live in New York City, and one day many years ago I was with a poet, Gregory Corso, walking through Greenwich Village. He pointed to a doorway in an alley that he said led to a tunnel under Manhattan, a tunnel he'd use to run from the cops. I started learning about old Prohibition-era speakeasy tunnels under the city, for running whiskey.
Whiskey will always be a part of my life.
I learned early to drink beer, wine and whiskey. And I think I was about 5 when I first chewed tobacco.

I love whiskey, and I'm a big fan of 'Mad Men,' so anything that Don Draper does, I like to do. But I want Don Draper to get back to where he was in the first season. I like him married and gallivanting around.
We partied with the royal rich people, and we felt like rock stars. We drank all the whiskey in the place.
I used to like whiskey. But it's been a long time since I've been drunk.
