Cyrus loves his cheque book. ``My parents are not on talking terms with me. I therefore have to depend on my cheque book for money,'' he says. ``They (his parents) are upset with me because they think that my teenage is not over despite the fact that I am 27. They have adjustment problems,'' he says. The VJ gets his dose of humour from a book titled Two Ronnies, two lines of which he reads every day. He calls the book his ``humour factory.''

The Book of Hollywood Scandals is another favourite because it portrays people's pain and sorrow and, as he says, ``a bit of my own life too.'' ``I love Margaret A Jarvis' Your Book On Swimming. I like it because I would like to learn to swim without getting into the water. I'd rather practise swimming in my bed,'' he says.
