On Bill's porn collection
>"He sent me his porno collection. [...] We used to talk about porn all the time. He used to tell me about how when he was in New York he would go to all the porno places. But he bequeathed me all this porn. [...] There was also a letter in there. It said something like: "Herein lies the depravity of man."__________
On Bill appearing on mainstream British TV with Oliver Reed
>"Bill winced at the idea but Hedge convinced him. Yes, the show was atrocious but its ratings were huge. [...] [Producer Paul] Ross told him how the show had a great prank that night: producers had brought Britain's favorite drunk, Oliver Reed, to a pub before the show and now they were planning to train a secret camera on him in the dressing room. [...] 'Bill didn't like the idea that Oliver Reed was as drunk as he was,' Hedge said. 'He didn't like that they were exploiting him.'"__________
