Unfortunately I don't live by a Target now, so I just go to a regular Starbucks as opposed to a Starbucks nested inside a Target, which is my ideal situation. That works out for me. I like that white noise, those interruptions, and the people around me.

For me, writing essays, prose and fiction is a great way to be self-indulgent.

Of course, the strippers also take pains not to appear too innocent, valorous, or bookishly inclined. (In direct opposition to the Swayze Mandate of 1987, everybody puts Baby in a goddamn corner.)

I think when you take people who are damaged and you give them money and freedom, it can be a toxic cocktail.

Love is mysterious and rad, like Steve Perry from Journey

I have a lot of screenwriter friends and many of them have had an experience where they aren't even welcome on set during production.

Nobody comes to Minnesota to take their clothes off, at least as far as I know.
