independent tvs can-do
You can't do anything yourself on TV... unless you have a LOT of money, but you can do an independent movie.
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.
basketball stupid thinking
A lot of people think that since I'm drunk in my stories, I must be drunk 24 hours a day. What kind of stupid logic is that? It'd be like if you saw Michael Jordan at a restaurant and were like, "Why aren't you in your basketball uniform?" I leave out way more than I put in.
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.
defense telling-the-truth truth-is
I tell the truth, and truth is the ultimate defense against libel.
cute nice writing
To my friends and people I care about, I'm a really nice guy. No one wants to read a story where I saw a cute puppy on the street and I petted it. I mean, that's not funny. I only write about the funny stuff.
independent hard-work amazing-life
The result of my hard work is that I'm financially independent, I have an amazing life, and I can do whatever I want. I don't have to answer to anybody.
fun school college
If you just don't have any idea what you want to do, the worst thing you can do is go to law school. If you can go to college, maybe it's fine to have four years of fun and learn a little bit, that's okay, but if you have to go two hundred thousand dollars in debt, that's not something I would recommend.
jobs lawyer hated
I hated being a lawyer and I wanted to like myself and like my job.
girl guy rejection
As a general rule, whenever guys have problems approaching girls, it's because they're afraid of rejection or they're afraid of something specific. The way that you get over a fear like that is you figure out what the worst is that can happen.
guy pussy trying
Guys, we spend our whole lives trying to get pussy, so when pussy comes to us, it's like, "Whoa, this is amazing!" At 27, I thought nothing could be better than that, but at 35, I've come to understand the darker side of it.
book doe journalist
If you read the book, you're not a journalist. You're some impostor! No journalist actually does any work.
people stories felt
I never felt pressured to create more stories, but dealing with people became really aggravating.
hurt want would-be
The only thing that someone could say about me that would hurt me would be something that's true that I don't want to be.
