I think we've gotten to a point where we're becoming really sensitive to things like body dysmorphia, but I think it's gone too far, where people are accusing everyone of hating themselves.

Can you think of a single situation, no matter how grave, where the atmosphere would not be instantly shattered with a loud fart - or a drawing of a butt? There is no faster way to create universal common ground.

Bad things happen when you try to let things just happen. You can't be passive.

You can call double-eyelid surgery wrong or see it as evidence of body dysmorphia, but don't overplay the race issue. It's insulting to those of us who are merely vain.

Really, I don't care if people think I'm too skinny. This is my body. If they don't like it, screw it.

As I found again and again as a writer, when you're completely honest about something, people respond to that.
