I like to read the 'Financial Times' when I'm traveling. 'Economist.' 'Ad Busters.'
It wouldn't be fair to cast aspersions on an entire cultural movement based on the actions of a few. To quote my grandfather, 'One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch.'
I feel like being into the beat of your own drum has become too prominent in the culture.
Hip-hop is the last true folk art.
What I take from writers I like is their economy - the ability to use language to very effective ends.
I know what it feels like to have the door slammed firmly in my face, so I'm cool with that.
