On Monday of last week, I had 112 followers on Twitter, the majority of them were probably my family, and now there’s just under 40,000… People are talking about me on TV shows. Yeah, I mean, it’s obviously crazy and there’s obviously people who, without having seen the series, have come to a conclusion about my position.[8]
