EXCERPT:

GW: A lot of people are thinking that you must be the biggest request for conventions and we're wondering why you haven't shown up at so many, besides a little incident in London with one particular fan.

DH: One particular fan? When was that?

GW: We were talking with Rachel and she said ...

DH: Oh, God, did she tell you that? Oh, horrible woman. Horrible Rachel! I'm never telling Rachel anything ever again!Rachel is so lovely, isn't she? She's so sweet. I feel like I've not only been provided with a job and a life. I've been provided with entire friends as well. "Here's the social scene, too! You can all hang out! You're going to get along with these people fine!" Yeah -- no, I do.I get very uncomfortable with the economics of them. It feels very strange to me that money changes hands for autographs and that kind of stuff. I understand the need for it. It just makes me uncomfortable and I'm not saying that -- obviously we get paid for what we do and that's great, obviously it helps.So it's that. It's also just time. Unfortunately, there's a convention in Vancouver this weekend and I'd love to be there, but I haven't seen my girlfriend in three weeks and I have so many lines to learn for next week.
