|  C/D: You've been in the States for six weeks. Are you homesick for England?
RH: No. One, I brought my wife and daughters over for the middle two weeks. And also, I'm really enjoying coming here. I travel a lot for work, obviously. But because of the shared language, as far as that sharing goes, America seems in some ways more foreign than many of the other places I go. And I've wondered why. I'm sure it's because of that shared language that we can cut to the chase and get to the subtleties that make your life different. If I'm in Italy or Japan, I just want to work out how to say "beer" and "laundry" in the hotel. Whereas in the States, very quickly you're actually sitting with guys and talking about what their lives are like. What they do. What matters to them. What their hopes, aspirations, and fears are.
