I think it's a terrible thing to write and not enjoy it. It's a sad thing. But of course a lot of people do work because they need to eat. And we all need to eat but that's not the only reason to work. You couldn't have paid me not to write.

If I could be more vague I'd write more about people in my life but I hate hurting feelings or making people feel uncomfortable. I've done that before. Unless they're sad songs. Those get finished fast but the mean ones often end up at the back of the bottom drawer and it's probably for the best.

Nolan has the strangest affect on people. You know I think there's something very sad and little boy about him but at the same time the way he goes about everything is so awkward and obnoxious. He can never say the right thing you know? And I think if he just didn't try so hard and calmed down people might actually like him a bit more!

The sad truth is that excellence makes people nervous.

The books are funny and sad and that's what people respond to.

The delta blues is a low-down dirty shame blues. It's a sad big wide sound something to make you think about people who are dead or the women who left you.

One of the sad things about contemporary journalism is that it actually matters very little. The world now is almost inured to the power of journalism. The best journalism would manage to outrage people. And people are less and less inclined to outrage.

There are a lot of people who consider themselves 'spiritual ' but that can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. I don't really talk about it that often because there's too much talk in the world. Especially with Christians there's more proselytizing than there is actual living proof of it. That's kind of sad.
