Dancing in the street.
Hey, William.
I am a William, obviously, and I have never really been called William.
William used to mean I was in trouble.
My mother, I think.
My mother liked to call me William.
I was named for my grandfather, her father.
She hated Billy.
She had a brother actually called my uncle Billy.
But she hated Billy and she didn't want me called Billy.
And if anybody came to the door and said, can Billy come out to play?
She'd say, we have no Billys here.
And you can kind of measure, you can kind of judge how long people have known me.
I've always been called Bill.
But there is Bill, there's Billy, there's Will, which my dad favored because he felt it was a sort of Dickensian name, like Will.
And he wanted me to be called Will, but nobody ever called me Will.
And then, of course, come on, there's Willie, which my highly paid and high-powered colleagues find difficult to survive.
They're like children.
I'm now looking at a room full of people
almost choking, trying to stifle their laughter.
