When one's own problems are unsolvable and all best efforts frustrated, it is lifesaving to listen to other people's problems.
I've got loads of ideas. I just have no idea what to do with those ideas
Life is short and love is over in the morning.
Women aren't objects that you look at only on weekends.

Love is madness, you can't put it in doses, it either surges over or under
You can't create a myth on your own. People do it for you.
It's important for me to not historicize. I work to diffuse the issue of identity and to intensify identification. You have to lose your authority in the making of a film to achieve this. The film is about me being absolutely dislocated. I focus on the very personal to arrive at the very political.
Pretty much every issue that we've put out, there have been at least one or two things that really surprised me. It sounds like bullshit, but most of the stories that we've run had that effect on me. We get thousands and thousands of submissions and I don't think we've published a story yet - very few, anyway - where there wasn't something like what Mona Simpson described, where a first sentence or a first page didn't just really command attention.
All talk is just that: talk. All the words written on these pages are just that: words. If you want things to get better, take action. Don't just talk about it. Don't just read and think about it. Do it.
This is why angels choose sides, why people join teams. It costs too much not to; it weighs too heavily to soldier on alone.
