David Sedaris

I can't tell you, but it's interesting to swap that out every night.

When you're out of town and you're away from Hugh, does your writing routine change at all when you're in all these different cities?

Are you waking up every morning and getting to the page?

What's the process?

Well, when I'm at home, I get up and I go right to my desk.

But when I'm traveling, I just have to write when I can find the time, right?

So I usually get up first thing in the morning.

But see, I have a lot of little...

I had one crazy thing that I had to do every day, and now I have two, right?

What are they?

So I have to walk 10 miles a day, and then I have to do Duolingo.

I have to be in the top three in the Diamond League, right?

David, hold on for one second.

When you say have to, what do you mean by that?

I mean the world will spin off of its axis, and everybody will die if I don't do this, right?

I can tell myself that's it.

I'm not doing this anymore.

But I can't stop.

So it's a lot.

So I have to write and I have to do those things.
