I Used to Like You Until... yeah I Used to Like You Until...

"

And so I wrote this book called The Emperor's New Mind, which is supposed to be saying, well, you know, everybody seems to be thinking one thing, but the little kid notices that the emperor doesn't have any clothes. So it was that theme of that story which was the basis of the book.

When the book was published, I didn't get letters from young kids. I got letters from old retired people who were the ones who had had the time to read my book. Okay, well, that was a little disappointing, but I'm glad the old retired people liked my book.
