It's A Basic Truth Of The Human

Winning A Rowing Race Is Not Like Winning Anything Else. Here's My Theory: You're Facing Backwards, So You're Looking At The People You're Beating--and There's Something Exquisite About That.

To Be Able To Pretend To Be Something That I'm Frankly Not Is Very Liberating And Exciting.

Perseverance Does Not Equal Worthiness. Next Time You Want To Get My Attention, Wear Something Fun. Low-riding Jeans Are Hot.

Success On A Cosmic Level Completely Eludes Me. I'm Deeply Suspicious Of Things Being Too Good. It's Part Of My Superstition, I Think, To Generate Pain In Order To Give The Illusion Of Gain. I'm Not Saying I Reject Success, But Honestly, I Don't Quite Know How To Deal With It. It's An Old Feeling: As Soon As You Have The Thing You've Been Going After All Your Life, That Reasonable Degree Of Security, You Start Kicking Against It, Doubting It.

Just Because It's A Bad Job Doesn't Mean I Need To Do It Badly.
