You're being honored with a Clio Lifetime Achievement Award this year. Do you remember winning your first Clio?

I don't remember the first Clio I won, but I do remember the year I won four. One, I wrote the music and lyrics for "Kodak America," then French's mustard won two. I won for best comedy writing and then we won for a Burger King commercial.
