Former US Attorney General, John Ashcroft, in the NYT Magazine:
Have you ever smoked a cigarette?
No. I puffed on a cigar one time, and it just made my mouth feel like someone had shot a cobweb all inside my mouth.
If you felt temptation for another woman, what would you do?
Call my wife.
In addition to songwriting, you dabble in the visual arts. What sort of work do you do?
I make barbed-wire sculpture.
Why barbed wire?
Because there was a surplus of it on my farm.
Well, thank you for making time for this interview.
I just hope that in meeting people, they’ll understand that I am not as bad as they thought I was.
Here.
