married.

AS: What's the biggest challenge you see ahead in the next 90 or so days?

KM: Managing time, measuring ourselves. You know, we were attracted to one another because of our absolute appreciation of whimsy and absurdity. Philosophically, we were attracted. And life is now so structured, so scheduled. I think what I'd like what I'd like to do when he becomes governor is to bring some of that ease back into his life and some laughter.

AS: Do you have any political aspirations yourself?

KM: Not I, said the cat. Put that in bold print. Everybody asks me that--why do they ask me that? Why would I want to be a politician--I sleep with one! Believe me. I could be much more helpful with my own pursuits and my own career, believe me, than I could if I were to assume a different kind of mantle. Which I have no interest in doing.

Which is not to say that I'm without a social conscious, it's very much alive. But I can help the state in my own way without running for office, I should hope. Andy, there's still about 40 plays that I want to do before I call it a day!
