It's not exactly courageous to be an anti-racist these days; a hundred years ago, it was.

What's absolutely impossible to prove is the idea of innate and everlasting equality.

Most of those who spend their lives as critics secretly wish they'd be considered important enough for someone to bother criticizing them.

I'm developing a mild rash at the idea of "plugging" anything, because it's not how I roll.

One of the greatest pleasures I get from my measly professional career is confusing people.

If anything, I've probably tended more toward humor in my writing and veered more toward pleasure in my personal life.

More than most, I believe I'm highly attuned to how heresies eventually become mainstream belief systems and how the vast majority of people who consider themselves 'edgy' are those who only embraced radical ideas LONG after it became safe for them to do so.
