I've interviewed a lot of celebrities, and you know who had bodyguards? Nobody. I walked up to one of the bodyguards and asked him if he could handle a client who needs bodyguarding a little more than Anna Wintour does. "I think so," he said. "I have."

We both laughed a particularly creepy kind of laugh, and then he said, "You and I know the least about fashion in this room. But I bet you can tell me Ty Cobb's batting average."
