The challenge of abating one with a genuine ego problem is to not try to put him down.

My way of dealing with the world has always been to make fun of it and observe it but not take part in it.That’s how I became a writer. But when you have kids, suddenly you have to be part of things. It leads almost to a breakdown because your whole defense mechanism is now really destructive Picture Quote #1
