So We Gravitated To Shows And Issues

America Is A Country Of Excess.

I Never Met Who I Really Wanted To Meet, And That Was Charlie Chaplin.

I Started By Writing, With My Partner Ed Simmons, A Monologue For Danny Thomas, That He Performed At Ciro's Nightclub In Los Angeles.

But You Know, My Dad Called Me The Laziest White Kid He Ever Met. When I Screamed Back At Him That He Was Putting Down A Race Of People To Call Me Lazy, His Answer Was That's Not What He Was Doing, And That I Was Also The Dumbest White Kid He Ever Met.

I Think Americans Have Become A - Much More A Nation Of Consumers Than Citizens.
