I was interested in writing, although I didn't exactly… I wouldn't have put it that way, but I was interested in writing. And I was interested in celebrated people. It's always been, I think, a part of my character. I think it's a character defect. I think it comes from sort of wanting to be somebody else. I think I've always wanted to be somebody else. I'm not quite sure who but somebody. So I was interested in celebrated people and I wrote a column in our high school newspaper called Seeing Stars, in which I interviewed a number of the celebrated people of the day. I interviewed Duke Ellington, Tommy Dorsey, the band leader, Henry Morgan, who was a comedian. I interviewed him in his hotel room, and a woman came out of the room, and he said, 'I want to introduce you to my cousin.' So I said, 'Yes, glad to meet you.' And then he had a table on which he had a lot of intellectually serious books. And I said, seriously, I wasn't trying to be funny, I said, 'Do you actually read these books?' And he said, 'No I don't, but the table is filled with helium, and I don't have the books on it, it flies up and sticks to the ceiling'. And I also interviewed Edgar Bergen and a number of celebrated people of the day. And the strange thing about it is that when… I don't have too many of these columns, but the few that I have left are very much in The New Yorker style Talk of The Town. And I don't know where I got it from, because I'm sure I wasn't reading The New Yorker, but it was absolutely in that style: yesterday we, yesterday we did, the whole editorial we… that the Talk of The Town used to use. So when later on, I began writing for The New Yorker and I started writing Talk of The Town, it was just natural for me. It was my… it was an obvious voice, because I had done it when I was in high school.
