*What's the weirdest animal you've ever ridden?


An obese pony, at a deprived-children's holiday.


*Was it a good ride?


No, it kept stopping to eat, so I was just left behind. I think it was a case of match the fat lad with the fat horse, and it just made for
a very miserable day.


*Have you ever been obsessed with anyone?


Yeah, Obi-Wan Kenobi. And there's a folk singer called Dar Williams, who came to Britain and I had to try not to stalk her. She was doing a gig and I'd learnt all the lyrics and sat in the front row and mouthed them to her, hoped she'd fall for me.
