I have yet to get sued. My father thinks I should get liability insurance.

I like European and South American literature, but mostly I read nonfiction.

I understand maybe some people are more impressionable than my hard, cynical self, but maybe they need to figure out how to be less of that.

There's this resistance to actually talking to people who are smarter than you about things and I don't know why that is.

I never asked anybody to take me seriously.

Just send the emails and talk to people. Spend all your money on nail polish and opera tickets.

Talk to people who know more than you. I feel like we're in this stupid sea of opinion, like "My opinion is valid because it's mine and I have it."
