To me, there's nothing on earth other than women. It's why I get out of bed every morning.
There are a lot of Ellroy lifts, man. This guy went to school. But then there's a willful thing that comes over me - God gives it to me - where I go, "That's real nice, let's just go home, pat yourself on the back, good dog, good dog, and wake up in the morning and go to work."
You get up in the morning because you might meet a woman. And if you stay at home by yourself, alone, you will not meet a woman.
