He spoke to Australia's Network 10 and  said, "Yeah, I still do receive royalty cheques, it's true. But I haven't updated my address in several years, honestly since the last time I got interviewed for this. I haven't seen them in a few years. I'm just assuming that they are still coming."

Speaking about peoples interest in his life, he commented, "It's interesting, I'd say my family and I mostly just think that it's interesting that people are still finding it interesting. My wife and I mostly just get a kick out of comments. They are mostly just interesting to read, but it feels like a dream it was so long ago. I just can't believe that it's happening 25 years later."
