Years ago, I heard you call into Car Talk and ask the Tappets for advice about your girlfriend's VW.

Did you end up getting the car fixed, or did you trade it in for something that wasn't a lemon?

Also- do you have any unreleased joints with Camu Tao that we can look forward to in the future?

In 2005, I made an effort to set the Wu-Tang Clan as my top 8 on Myspace. Everyone friended me except you, so I went with Cappadonna, but it just didn't feel right so I shut down my account.

My question: Beyond your contribution to hip hop music and entertainment, your cultural contributions are often overlooked. Wu-Wear was among the first successful clothing lines associated directly with a hip hop act, and according to this interview, you even delved into electronics with a product called the Replicator which you say was the inspiration for Serato. As an innovator and thought leader, to what do you attribute the financial successes of subsequent artists who have invested in similar ventures? If you knew then what you know now, what would you have done differently, business-wise, in the mid/late 90's?

The Man in the High Castle is maybe the greatest pilot I've ever seen (besides maybe the Lone Gunmen, in retrospect) and I'm really looking forward to Amazon releasing the whole series. It was good to see Ridley Scott associated with another Philip K Dick project, and when I recognized your name from The X-Files, it kindof clicked.

My question for you, considering the type of subject matter you seem drawn to-

Do you consider yourself a paranoid person? What type of role do you think paranoia plays in the today's political landscape and why does entertainment seem to associate so much more value to political paranoia and skepticism than the rest of political and media culture?

That was great to read in your voice. Thanks for being an inspiration.

Hey Kate!

Your parents lived in the apartment next to my grandmother. Your mom was awesome and I hope the rest of your family is doing well.

During holidays your family was always laughing hysterically- it sounded like you were having so much fun! This is a bit odd, but a few times just hearing your and your sister's uproarious laughter through the wall had me cracking up to myself.

You come by your boisterous comedic sense honestly. Thanks for making me laugh on and off screen.

edit: Apparently, as per the rules of the sub, I have to ask a question. When are The Lampshades coming to philly?
