I want fake love. But that’s all I want, and that’s why I can’t have it Picture Quote #1

In the Far East, it’s very normal for people to wear masks in flu season. I don’t know if I’d ever do that, though, because I don’t like having things on my face Picture Quote #1

Flying to me isn’t scary, it’s just incredibly boring. And I guess I have a fear of boredom, so in that regard, I’m afraid to fly Picture Quote #1

Because I’m 44, I feel kind of lucky that I lived through this period where I started my career where there was no Internet at all, and now when I finish it, there will be nothing but the Internet Picture Quote #1

If you play I Don’t Want To Know by Fleetwood Mac loud enough -- you can hear Lindsey Buckingham’s fingers sliding down the strings of his acoustic guitar. ...And we were convinced that this was the definitive illustration of what we both loved about music; we loved hearing the INSIDE of a song Picture Quote #1

Maybe it takes forty years of your life to understand how the world seems to work Picture Quote #1

When you’re writing for newspapers you have all these parameters. You can’t swear, you have to use short paragraphs, all that. If you stay within those parameters, you have lots of freedom because you’re writing for the next day Picture Quote #1

Internet porn makes everything more reasonable -- once you’ve realized there is a massive subculture of upwardly mobile people who think it’s erotic to see an Asian woman giving a hand job to a javelina, nothing else in the world seems crazy Picture Quote #1

In some ways, Halloween is much easier for women. They can just dress as sluts, and it’s kind of a costume, if they never do any other time Picture Quote #1

I would hate for climate change to be accepted simply because everyone was dying Picture Quote #1

In Fargo, they say, well, that's a job. How well do you get paid? For example, for this book I was written about in Entertainment Weekly, and it was kind of cool because my mom asked me if Entertainment Weekly was a magazine or a newspaper Picture Quote #1

Anybody who says they are a good liar obviously is not, because any legitimately savvy liar would always insist they're honest about everything Picture Quote #1

It didn’t seem remotely possible. I had no idea how people got those jobs, I didn’t know what the steps were, it never even dawned on me. It seemed so outside the realm of possibility Picture Quote #1

It’s just that what’s important there is different there than what’s important is here. Here, people care that you wrote a book or that you work in the media Picture Quote #1

At a magazine, everything you do is edited by a bunch of people, by committee, and a lot of them are, were, or think of themselves as writers. Part of that is because magazines worry about their voice Picture Quote #1

Book writing is a little different because, in my case, my editor is a year younger than me and basically has the same sensibility as me Picture Quote #1

I feel sorry for people who have to edit me. Which is why book writing is by far the most enjoyable. Really the only thing it’s based on is whether it’s good or not. No book editor, in my experience, is getting a manuscript and trying to rewrite it Picture Quote #1

Even though I wanted to experience all these things I was interested in, I couldn’t get them. So I had to think critically and culturally about what was available Picture Quote #1

I grew up on a farm, and we didn’t have cable and only limited radio stations, so I wasn’t inundated with culture the way people in other parts of the country were. But I was really interested in it Picture Quote #1

To me, every interview, even if you love the artist, needs to be somewhat adversarial. Which doesn’t mean you need to attack the person, but you do need to look at it like you’re trying to get information that has not been written about before Picture Quote #1

The biggest problem in rock journalism is that often the writers main motivation is to become friends with the band. Theyre not really journalists; theyre people who want to be involved in rock and roll Picture Quote #1

You’re trying to find new ideas in people. I always think to myself, what question I am least comfortable asking the person? And then I make sure I ask it early in the interview Picture Quote #1
