The result of my hard work is that I'm financially independent, I have an amazing life, and I can do whatever I want. I don't have to answer to anybody.

I never felt pressured to create more stories, but dealing with people became really aggravating.

The thing that I think about the most, and is the most rewarding to me, is the whole past. That I kind of went from nothing to something and I did it on my own, and I did it through hard work and smarts.

If your parents ignored you, or if they are just not emotionally available, or if they yell a lot, that is a type of trauma.

I will never understand why people get so upset at things I don't even remember saying.

Anything that reflects the human condition back on humans in the entertainment medium is art.

Critics stopped being relevant when they stopped writing to inform and contextualize, and when they started writing to signal who they are, to display their identity by their stance on what they are writing about. Criticism should never be about the critic, but thats what it has become, and that’s why no one cares about them anymore.
