And I would say have a seat. Yeah.

And here's the flip side of it, though. Because my parents are more extreme, my father is a bit of a hoarder. I'm afraid of, I don't want that to happen to me. And my mother, she's not as bad as my dad, but I see their behavior sometimes as sadness personified or like unhappiness personified, the mess, mess here, mess there. And so that thing makes me not like that.

I would rather not be messy. I'm not that all the way, but I'm messy for a while and then I'll clean. Clean is not the right word because it's not like it's dirty, but it's like I'll put things in the right place or have someone to help me do that. But I don't mind my office being a mess because as you say- You know where it is. It doesn't hurt my feelings. That's the other thing.

We don't really see it that way because it doesn't affect us emotionally.

Exactly.

It's like George Carlin's joke, your shit is stuff and their stuff is shit.

Well, I was doing George Carlin. Well, he did a little black stuff. Your stuff is shit, and this shit is stuff. I'm a jazz guy. Have you noticed that their stuff is shit, and your shit is stuff?

Procrastination is in my career, though, like with writing, mainly writing. Because like most writers I know, people say, Larry, why do you write? And I say, because I have a deadline. Otherwise, why would I do that? Because it's always painful. It's never not painful. I always feel any writer worth their salt thinks it's going to be horrible. When I meet young writers, they go, I'm great.
