If you do the job badly enough, sometimes you don't get asked to do it again.

I guess I have a gift for expressing pedestrian tastes. In a way, it's kind of depressing.

I'm pulling out different aspects of my personality in writing each character and, if I'm doing my job well, I'm being true to the situation and true to the character.

It's not the medium, but the quality of perception and expression, that determines the significance of art.

There are no restrictions of taste, approach, or subject matter. The gatekeepers are gone, so the prospect for new and different voices is exciting. Or at least it will be if anyone reads them. And it will be even more exciting if anyone pays for them. It's hard to charge admission without a gate.

Oh look, yet another Christmas TV special! How touching to have the meaning of Christmas brought to us by cola, fast food, and beer... Who'd have ever guessed that product consumption, popular entertainment, and spirituality would mix so harmoniously?

I say if a novelty Christmas song is funny one time, then it is funny every time. - Calvin
