The incredible Fran Lebowitz

This interview is so good you could cut and paste the whole thing. It starts with FL talking about her appearances on Law & Order, then moves to Keith Richards...

Have you read the Keith Richards memoir?
I did. I did.

How'd it turn out?
You know, it's good. It's good. I mean first of all, James Fox is a good writer. It's very unusual to choose a writer like that, I think, to do that kind of book [...]

Somebody told me that Keith's book was going to be written by Nick Tosches at one point.
Is that right? He would've been a great choice. He's a great writer. He would've also been a great choice, but he's not English. You know Keith is very English. People forget that, and James Fox is English. Keith is really English in a way that people who are younger are not that strongly their own nationality, you know? Have you read the book?

No. Only excerpts.
When you read the book there's this tremendous connection to being English, especially in that era.

The war era?
Right. Every English person that age, always the first thing they tell you is they talk about rationing and what they're talking about is rationing of candy because they were children. This never leaves them. You would think they were survivors of Auschwitz, you know? "We only got this much candy ever!" I love Nick Tosches as a writer. I think he's a fantastic writer and he would always be a great choice, I think, but he's not English so maybe it's better to have an English person.

... and then only after this does the interviewer ask 'Are you still playing drums?'
