“I’ve always been a word guy, I like
  weird words and I like American
  slang and all that, and words that
  are no longer being used…
  I like to drag them out of the box
  and wave them around… this is an
  interesting one, it’s amazing how
  in addition to punctuation just a
  little pause in the wrong place can
  just completely transform the
  meaning of something.”
