fame and riches...

People keep on accusing me of seeking fame or money. I'd say yes to the former (begrudgingly), but absolutely not to the latter. Barbara's husband impugned my honour, and I know he's loaded. Calling me a flasher was fucking crap, and I'm not over that, as AMPP Season 1 demonstrated.


Asking for $20,000 to licence my movie script was simply being fair, and subsequent increases on that quote have been tied to breaches of my various public statements. I put tens of thousands into the Dakumentary, with no real hope of financial return. That shows you where my heart is.

To me, Golriz, you're just another bum on the dole. You might have been rich, but I had no idea about that when I wrote to you.


I just thought you'd know people that'd give it a flavour.


From the article I read, as I said, I thought you were totally broke! I'm not interested in your money, or your MS: I'm interested in your ideas.
