The Miracle Mop created an entirely new category of stick goods - the twist mop. And when I demonstrated it for people, they'd invariably say, 'I have to have that.'

At first I wanted to be a jockey. I rode horses in Cleveland but I kept falling off and I was afraid of horses. So there wasn't much of a future in it.

I rode horses since I was a kid.

When I was a child, I wanted to raise horses in Wyoming or be a cabin boy on a pirate ship.

I do my own stunts; that's something I'm very passionate about. I spent a lot of time on boats as a kid, so it's just nice to be able to put that into use in the job that I do.

I was an expert horseman.

I had professional stunt racers teaching me how to drive.

I always thought of myself as an amateur stunt man.

I wanted to be a writer-performer like the Pythons. In fact, I wanted to be John Cleese, and it took me some time to realise that the job was, in fact, taken.

So, I have my own horse and two ponies. I grew up around horses, and that really is my passion.
