I first became a vegetarian when I was nine, in response to an argument made by a radical babysitter. My great change - which lasted a couple of weeks - was based on the very simple instinct that it's wrong to kill animals for food.
I never met anybody in my life who says, I want to be a critic. People want to be a fireman, poet, novelist.
It's my firm conviction that when Uncle Sam calls, by God we go, and we do the best that we can.
