• I had many, many, many death threats. I couldn't open letters for a long time, because they all had to be opened by either the FBI or somebody. I couldn't open letters. I had to be escorted.

He and I got to be bosom buddies really, but that was the hardest part. I wasn't able to enjoy -- you know.
