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 just feel like there's so many movies I haven't seen that I want to see, that I would never go back to the same one. It's funny because all my friends, they have movies that they've seen over and over again.

Not enough gets said about the importance of abandoning crap.

You just have to fight your way through.

I suppose I shouldn't go around admitting I speak untruths on the radio.

In some theoretical way I know that a half-million people hear the show. But in a day-to-day way, there's not much evidence of it.

Where radio is different than fiction is that even mediocre fiction needs purpose, a driving question.
