It's hilarious how he lists drinking as one of his hobbies, yet he lists drunks on his list of dislikes.
He clearly adored Chris. :wavey:

That was interesting, thank you! But, Kim Novak? bleah! :laugh: I think it's cute, too, the categories he named Christine in. "Pets" :laugh:

Yeah, I know. I figured that's where you got those quotes. :D The whole thing was just too funny(especially the answers about Chris)not to post. Mick's was pretty funny, too. :)

He redeemed himself by naming Paul Newman and Steve McQueen. :lol: I did like Kim in Vertigo, though.
