Being a pacifist is the way.

Avoid violence at all costs.

You know what I mean, Joe?

Look at you, dog.

You're a fucking author.

Let's take it easy.

I'm not an author until tomorrow, technically.

No, you're an author once it's written.

I can read it, which makes you an author.

I have a book in my hand, which makes you an author.

I tell you what, man.

You had more of a hand in that book than you would think.

um every you know before we started i had you sign one of the copies because i'm going to keep it for myself and the people's names who associated themselves with that who took a chance on me and supporting me they have just as much as hands as the monkey who may or may not have been sitting in front of the computer writing out the words very slowly isn't that the case with everything in life though i mean it's it's really who you know and like the people that you associate

associate with and what you learn from them and their examples, with everything.

There's no individuals that are responsible entirely for their own life.

There are individuals, though, that would tell you that they are.

Yeah, but those are the people that I don't hang out with.

Yeah, I can't suffer being in the presence of somebody who thinks that they had every idea and every right decision was theirs.

Because I look at my own life.

One, I can't compete with that because my life is defined by its mistakes and idiotic things I've done.
