I don't like that whole "art should challenge you" thing. Because I don't feel like art actually does challenge you. I was a semiotics major at Brown, and there's this idea that stories are better, books are better, and movies are better if they cocked you off your axis and you were completely disoriented and you'd really have to rethink everything.

I didnt have any particular talent for fiction. I took a class in college.

I dont take care of my voice at all, which is one reason that I sound as bad as I do.

The most important possible thing you can do is do a lot of work.

You just have to fight your way through.

When I say something untrue on the air, I mean for it to be transparently untrue. I assume people know when I'm just saying something for effect. Or to be funny.
