I don't think there's much a person could say about me. My gangster's never been on trial.

My dad wasn't a gangster, and he wasn't a criminal, but he sure liked to rub padded shoulders with them.

A lot of my friends are gangsters. Not like gangsters - well, yeah, all sorts of levels of criminality - but not the types that are preying on innocent people. I have no interest in the type of criminality that has no respect for collateral damage.

I think I could totally be a gangster, but I could never be the kind of gangster that carries things out myself. I would have to be the kingpin that has my minions go and do the dirty bidding. I think I'd be pretty good at giving orders.

Some of your worst gangsters are guys who were very low-key.

I'm not really gangsta. Not at all. I just write about them. It's fun to pretend, at least on paper. But in real life, not so much.

I've never been in a gang. None of my friends have been in a gang. I've never rolled around with big entourages.
