My fame is due to broadcast television.

I think, as we all learn as a child, you have to learn to tolerate ambiguity better and I'm still terrible at it and I hate it; even the word ambiguity makes me sick to me stomach.

To want to become the President is, I think, such a bizarre ambition that it is automatically deranging.

A lot of media that that I want to consume, I don't want to have to own forever and ever. It's not like real estate.

Stories hold power because they convey the illusion that life has purpose and direction. Where God is absent from the lives of all but the most blessed, the writer, of all people, replaces that ordering principle. Stories make sense when so much around us is senseless, and perhaps what makes them most comforting is that, while life goes on and pain goes on, stories do us the favor of ending.

Reality, while generally probable, is not always interesting.

So I am a product of the Internet, and to some degree a product of this sensibility of constant cultural reference.
