hate book people
I sold a million books because I have a lot of fans, not because people hate me.
school thinking law
At some point in their life, everyone thinks they should go to law school. You may in fact think you want to go to law school now.
literature way fiction
Calling one thing 'literature' and another 'fiction' is a way to create status where there is none.
talking robots tweet
Corporate tweets are like one robot talking to another.
party republican ifs
Even if I was a Republican, George Bush would have pushed me out of that party.
stuff kind realizing
Before you're famous it's stuff that seems like it'd be really cool, but once you get it, you realize it's not bad, but it's kind of hollow and meaningless.
artist four want
I don't want to compare myself to Picasso, but he had four or five periods in his life. Any good artist grows and changes and matures.
mistake school law
Make no mistake about it: Law school is not a bastion of intellectual discourse.
email brutal crap
You can't fill your emails with crap, at least not with my friends, because they're brutal. If something sucks, they'll tell you.
honesty liars lying
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."

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.
careers auditions easier
Great careers are getting easier to find and audition for, but harder to keep.
writing identity criticism
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.
people machines industry
What people who don't create don't understand, is that once you take money from the machine, the machine [movie industry] owns you.
