All through the ages, artists have had to sell themselves to the highest bidder in order to make a living at creation. Some manage to keep a little more of themselves in their art, while others go to work for advertising agencies.

I try not to judge people for “selling out.” Money makes the world go ’round and all that, right? I am more inclined to think of commercials as art. Like the Sonic Drive-In commercials — the writing, directing and acting that goes into those is pretty impressive.

Anyway, I really relate to the married couple they have on there, and I often ask this same question of my own marriage. If she’s the straight man in the relationship, what does that make him?

Funny.
