I'm never going to be Tolstoy.
hate two stupidity
I stop paying attention because as much as I love beauty, I hate stupidity, and seeing the two combined pisses me off.
running easter children
The rules your parents teach you to live by are very different than the rules the world actually runs by. Most of the conventional wisdom is not only wrong, it's a lie told to us by people who want to control us. It doesn't help us, it helps them. Pretty much everything we're told as children (and adults, really) by the established power structures in our lives are made up fairytales us to reinforce that control: Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the tooth fairy, fat-free frozen dinners, religion, and metering lights on the highway--the list goes on
kids mature rate
I was not developmentally disabled, but didn't mature at the same rate other kids did.
writing talking laughing
I started writing because it was about making my friends laugh, and when you're talking to your friends, you can't bullshit.
fun confused mean
You know that look a cop gives you when he's so confused that he doesn't even know how to respond? If you don't know that look, it means you haven't had enough fun in your life.
meaning-of-life life-is
The meaning of life is to create meaning for your life.
smart hard-work past
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.
girl emotional issues
You show me a truly funny girl who doesn't have emotional issues, and I'll introduce you to my stable of unicorn thoroughbreds ridden by leprechaun jockeys.
games play people
One big lesson I learned from movie [making] was I don't do creative projects that I headline unless I have all the control. I can't deal with having to live with other people's screw ups, and that's just sort of the way the movie business works. The people with the money are in charge. Until I'm in charge, I don't want to play that game.
editors feels great-writers
Most of my success, I feel, comes from being a good editor as opposed to a great writer.
heaven half action
Yes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions, but everyone forgets the second half of that quote: the road to heaven is paved with good actions.
funny hater scream
The haters always scream the loudest.
america bullshit majority
The vast majority of all consequences, especially in 21st century America, are completely meaningless bullshit.
