...watch television. Ever. Growing up, my parents were solidly anti-cable, their tastes ranging across a very narrow spectrum which consisted primarily of "Masterpiece Theater" and a select number of weekly staples.

The highlight of his day, Spacey tells us, is a quiet masturbation session in the shower. "It's all downhill from there...
