Your stars do not define me. Give me one star for effort, two for resolve, three for tireless hours slaving to write what you so casually deride. Award me four stars for melting your heart, five for taking your breath away at the end. Oh wait, you stopped before the best part. Have you no heart? Your stars do not define me.

In the style of my previous interviews, I will put my comments/questions in BLUE and Lyons will be GREEN. Thank you for joining me today. Let’s start with something basic.
