I kind of wish people didn’t know who i am, that i could just lie, say i’m a speechwriter for obama. this is what i said before twilight. and then obama came along and picked up all these young writers. i found out this guy, jon favreau — who’s not the actor jon favreau — is writing for him. and i was like, wow, i wonder if the people who thought i was bullshitting at the time are like, ‘oh my god. that guy! that kid who was drunk in some bar actually wrote the health care bill!’

One of the most powerful aspects of service - being different. what is wow? wow! is great service! wow! separates the extraordinary from the ordinary. wow! separates the strong from the weak. wow! separates the sincere from the insincere. wow! separates the pro's from the con's. wow! separates the yes's from the no's. wow! is the full measure of your personal power, and the way you use it. wow! is doing what others can't (or won't). wow! is what you do for others in an exceptional way. wow! is the ticket to success. your ticket. are you wow?
Strong Powerful Being Different
I have a hard time writing. most writers have a hard time writing. i have a harder time than most because i'm lazier than most. [...] the other problem i have is fear of writing. the act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why i think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.
Writing Hard Times Thinking
Even when i ran my bar i followed the same policy. a lot of customers came to the bar. if one in ten enjoyed the place and said he'd come again, that was enough. if one out of ten was a repeat customer, then the business would survive. to put it another way, it didn't matter if nine out of ten didn't like my bar. this realization lifted a weight off my shoulders. still, i had to make sure that the one person who did like the place.
Running Weight Matter
Although a government study found that men's health was much worse than women's health or the health of any minority group, headlines around the country read: 'minorities face large health care gap.' they did not say: 'men face large health care gap.' why? because we associate the sacrifice of men's lives with the saving of the rest of us, and this association leads us to carry in our unconscious an incentive not to care about men living longer.
Country Sacrifice Men
I've been writing for a long time, since the late '60s. but it hasn't been in the same form. i used to write scripts for television. i wrote for my comedy act. then i wrote screenplays, and then i started writing new yorker essays, and then i started writing plays. i didn't start writing prose, really, until the new yorker essays, but they were comic. i didn't start writing prose, really, until the '90s. in my head, there was a link between everything. one thing led to another.
Writing Play Long
Wow," i said, since it was all i could think of to say. "wow. that's some outfit." when you've got a big guy wearing lycra it doesn't leave a whole lot to the imagination. i resisted the temptation to ask eric to turn around. "i don't believe i could be convincing as a queen," eric said, "but i decided this sent such a mixed signal, almost anything was possible." he fluttered his eyelashes at me. eric was definitely enjoying this. "oh, yes," i said, trying to find somewhere else to look. (living dead in dallas)
