Getting out of bed in the morning is an act of false confidence.

It is not size or age that separates children from adults. It is responsibility.

Getting out of bed in the morning is an act of false confidence.

Over the years, I discovered over and over again that once you lose control, you have a chance of getting good at it. And once you're controlling the work, it's not going to be very good, or it won't be as good as it should be.

I'm well beyond dyslexic: I have no sense of direction; I never know where I am.

I think we overrate experience and what we've been through in terms of our success at doing the work we do. There are many people who get beat up, who suffer, who are victimized, and then they sit down to write and they write crap.

When people started reading me and talking to me about the work, they didn't say how funny, or how satiric, or how brilliant, or how this or how that, they said, how'd you get away with it? How'd you get that into print?
