Guns out, guns out. He makes me call him Sex Friedman. You like it. So, I didn't say it. Didn't even imply that.

He wrote a graphic novel about me in 2006 called Ego and Hubris, which goes for like $150 on eBay. It's not worth it. Just download it. And I met Harvey. Because I wrote this screenplay about this band from the 80s called Rubber Rodeo. It's a real band. And the keyboardist, Gary Lieb, who passed away, rest in peace, Gary, introduced me to Harvey because he did the animation for the movie.

And this script's been in my desk for over 20 years. And I realized, thanks to my buddy Eric July, who has some huge success with his comics, I could just produce this as a graphic novel. So I've got an artist, we're getting it together, so I'm going to make it happen finally. And it's some of the best writing I've ever done. I'm really proud of the story.

It's kind of ironic reading it now because when you're a writer, obviously, different books, you put different aspects of yourself into them, right? And this story is very, very dark because basically they did all the right things and they went nowhere, right?

What I realized was, reading it now, that all these fears I had over 20 years ago about what if I'm not gonna make it, what if I'm doing all the hard work and it's still not enough, now it's been disproven, because I can at least pay my rent.

I own, as you know, Margaret Thatcher's bookcases. So to me, as an immigrant, to have her bookcases in my house, I've made it. You're right, it's not a joke. There's nothing funny about it at all. Stop being serious.
