From Jack Ballentine's Murder for Hire

I constantly battle with who I am and what I should sound like when I get calls. It becomes even more difficult in the early-morning hours when the phone rings and I'm in a deep sleep. I found it best to always answer, "Yeah," and then let the caller carry on until I gather myself and I locate the character I need to be. It's a tough transition from biker warlord to Mafia hit man. The phone rings all the time and I hardly ever know who the caller is . . .

I always play hard-to-get. I make you believe that you want me more than anyone else. No matter what I say or do, you stay with me and don't go anywhere else---unless you aren't really that committed to having someone killed. I get inside your head immediately and get you to a point that you know you shouldn't be with me because I'm really bad, but you like and want me so much that you won't let me go. People have told me over the years they had been searching a lifetime for someone like me. That's when I know I totally have you believing my act.
