I always call myself a space construction worker. We were only the second mission ever to go to the space station. There was nothing on board.

I had gone to New York with no plan at all. I did a lot of jobs - barman, teacher, security guard, postman and construction worker - and I was meeting many eccentric characters, and they were saying funny things, which I always wrote down.
