Disagreeing

"She [Ayn Rand] was supposed to be on my show; I was kind of sorry she wasn’t, because I was kind of laying for her. I did not succumb, as a kid, to being enthused by Ayn Rand, and that sense of power, as every kid was at one time until they outgrew it. The old bag sent over a list of fifteen conditions for appearing with me, or for appearing with anyone, I guess. One of them was, 'There will be no disagreeing with Ms. Rand’s philosophy.' [...] I wrote at the bottom of the list, to be sent back to her, 'There will be no Ms. Rand, either.'"
