I've got 40 boxes of tampons and I took them home. And when my wife came home and she discovered them, she thought, what the hell is this? I said, remember that night you made me get up and go over to 7-Eleven in the middle of the night when you needed a box of those? I just didn't want that to happen again. She says, I'm sorry you were traumatized by it. Lifetime supply.

As I mentioned, the essence of creativity and crime are based on the uncertainty. And the more you get away from uncertainty, the more you get into the realm of risk. And that's frightening at some level, but at some other level, it becomes very bracing, even stimulating. And that's what I found out the more that I got used to this. So after I bought a bunch of tampons, and it worked very well.

It kind of emboldens you a little bit. Now you've got confidence that this is going to work. And so now you spread out and try different avenues. And I remember distinctly there was always this feeling that any second something could happen. You could be called out or whatever. That little bit of fear, it's very stimulating. It's very bracing. And it pumps a lot of adrenaline and it's exhausting.

But by the time you go home, you fall into a deep sleep because you're so exhausted by it all, by the emotion of it. But then when you wake up in the morning, you realize your feet can't wait to get back and feel that again, feel that stimulation, feel that risk, feel the adrenaline pumping through your veins.

And I didn't realize it at the time, but I was slowly getting addicted to my own body chemistry of adrenaline, that rush. I needed that fix, and I couldn't wait to get back to it. Biblically, there's a passage that said two things that God hates. One is a lying tongue. Another is feet that are quick to run to mischief. And I didn't realize, but I'm getting some foot trouble.
