I love comedy. I suppose comedy is my first love, in a way. I did a lot of acting, funnily enough, unprofessionally, as a kid. From when I was 10 years old until I was about 19, I was always doing little sketches with my friends, and doing different accents and voices.

But I have no way of knowing if this is true, as I have not yet found time to read 'Dracula. — Joe Queenan

the realization of an idea by an act of the will. — John Sterling
