No one has probably helped me more with my narcissism than my dog.

But here's the thing about being honest: All the liars HATE you for it, and most of the people in the world are liars. They lie to their bosses, they lie to their families, they lie to themselves, they lie so much they don't even know they're lying anymore. If you have the courage to be honest even a little bit all those people will hate you for it, because their lie is reflected in your honesty. Oscar Wilde wasn't kidding when he said, "If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you."

Look at the scope of writers who sell stuff. I'm at the very top of the power curve in terms of sales.

In training, there is no winning or losing. There is only learning.

I've never really had a media edifice supporting me.

It is hard for me to be vulnerable, because I never learned how to do that. I was never vulnerable in a safe way.

Listen to authority figures because of their position, but only believe them if they can explain why.
