| Introduction | I was born too late, because everything I love is old. I was a picker long before it was on TV. I'm an antique dealer and a scavenger and a sculptor who makes art out of the stuff other people throw away. Sometimes I feel like the curator of dead people's belongings, because the lost things speak to me and I gather them up and hold them till someone else comes along to take them and make them precious again. |

Your people want to make a statue in your honor. What will it be made out of and what victory will it commemorate?
It would be made out of rusty iron, galvanized metal, old books, bones and glitter. It would commemorate the triumph of my campaign to get grown folks in America to stop being assholes to each other. If it could breathe blue fire and pee Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey, that would also be pretty awesome.
