On Bill's early joke in Hollywood
>"One of them was about how, although he was a fairly nice guy, he just didn't like bums on the streets of Hollywood. The very idea, Bill said, that they wanted him to just *give* them the hard-earned money his parents sent to him every week."
__________
On Bill refusing to indulge in the Hollywood lifestyle
>"it was practically impossible to meet a girl his own age at the Comedy Store, and with everyone there from the performers to the line cooks partying into oblivion, teetotaler Bill didn't exactly fit in anyway. [...] 'You know, Hicks, you need to smoke a joint or something man. Lighten up,' Jackson Perdue said. 'And he got really indignant with me. "Fuck you, man! I don't need some Hollywood asshole telling me I need to do drugs." Bill felt really far away from all his friends having fun together in college in Texas and he was still pining for Laurie Mango. He was actually thinking about going to Church just so he could meet some more people"
__________
On Bill's interest in alternative beliefs
>"The two went vegetarian and Bill, typically emphatic, not only stopped eating meat, but studied holistic nutrition books, bought organic flour and made batches of wholewheat biscuits from scratch. [...] They [...] investigated all manner of metaphysical technique, gurus and literature: meditation, TM, Judeo-Christianity, Buddhism, psychic phenomena, astrology and numerology."
