Miller is a prideful man, and more than a tad defensive about his humble upbringing. The word "hillbilly" is about the worst thing one can say in his presence; for years he harangued the Atlanta newspaper about running the backwoods "Snuffy Smith" cartoon, until the paper finally ceased. A lover of baseball, NASCAR and country music, Miller is also steeped in literature and classical music, and he laughs when asked about a favorite quotation from Shakespeare. The passage, from "Macbeth," ponders life's ephemeral nature.
