Quotes

• “I want people to question things—that not everything is in The New York Times, which, as they say, is "All the news that's fit to print." I wanted to include the unfit.”
• “I do not try and shock people. That's never been my intent, but rather to share aspects of culture that I find interesting.”
• “Upsetting people is a beautiful thing, because it gets people to think beyond their last visit to 7-Eleven.”
• “I realized that if I went the grant route, my interests would have to coincide with material that was less penetrating of people's emotions. I couldn't have people saying, "Oh, God, what's that horrible thing?" I'd rather have the bottom line question be, "Will enough people buy that book?" rather than, "Will a few people in the ascendancy of academic culture be offended by it?"”
• “God help me, I'm a pot-smoking libertarian.”
• “I get a thrill out of being a professional pariah.”
