I Think Success Is A Lot More

So Far, At Least, I Haven't Found A Way To Tell My Kind Of Stories Without Making Them Both Sad And Funny.

Some People Will Of Course Accuse Me Of Misanthropy And Cynicism. I Can't Celebrate Humanity But I'm Not Out To Indict It Either. I Just Want To Expose Certain Truths.

I Can't Please Everybody And I Don't Try To. If I Can Please Myself That's Enough. For The Rest, I Just Hope For The Best.

For Me, New Jersey Is Kind Of A Mythical Place. It's Emblematic Of A Certain Aspect Of American Life. Florida Is The Same Way. It's Where People Go To Recreate, To Reinvent Themselves. It's What California Used To Be. I Think Florida Is Still A Place To Erase The Past.

The Funny Thing Is, Strangers Still Seem To Feel Comfortable Coming Up To Me And Saying Things, But Now Usually It’s Because They Recognize Me, And They Say Nice Things.
