I can't explain why I don't read comments. Maybe because I worked at Time for so long and they don't have them, so I keep forgetting that they're there.

When wine drinkers tell me they taste notes of cherries, tobacco and rose petals, usually all I can detect is a whole lot of jackass.

I always thought that being at Time and tweaking your bosses and exploiting your expense account was just fun. Just joyous.

I have a really high bar for being angry. Like, it doesn't even happen every year.

I would be at home reading, because I felt so disconnected from humanity.

I hate walking up to strangers.

The truth is that people who pull triggers are ultimately responsible, whether they're following orders or not. An army of people making individual moral choices may be inefficient, but an army of people ignoring their morality is horrifying.
