Like Most Creative People I Don't Fit

I'm More Influenced By My Own Interests Than Anyone Else's. Writers Have To Entertain Themselves, Or They Can't Entertain Anyone Else

If I'd Been Easily Discouraged, I Could Have Been A One-hit Wonder

Some Days You Go Bear Hunting And You Get Eaten. Some Days You Come Home With A Nice Rug To Roll Around On, And Bear Steaks. What They Don't Tell You As A Kid Is That Sometimes You Get The Rug And Steaks, But You Also Get Some Nice Scars To Go With Them. As A Child You Don't Understand That You Can Win, But That's It's Not Always Worth The Price. Once You Understand And Accept That Possibility You Become A Real Grown Up, And The World Becomes A Much More Serious Place. Not Less Fun, But Once You Realize What Can Go Wrong, It's A Lot Scarier To Go Hunting "bears".

If People Would Write Exactly What I Wanted To Read I Wouldn't Feel So Compelled To Write Myself

Be Nice, Be Nice, Until It's Time To Stop Being Nice, Then Destroy Them.
