What are your most overused words or phrases? A. Rather, suddenly, essentially, basically - i.e. words that sound like titles of Phil Collins albums. Q. If you could be any person or thing, who or what would it be? A. Bruce Springsteen in the years 1975 to 1978. Q. Who is your favorite fictional hero? A. Howard Roark Q. What is your biggest pet peeve? A. Absent commas and/or apostrophes. Rudeness. And, for some reason I can't quite decipher: humans dressed as cats. Learn more about Benjamin Wood
