More From Philip K. Dick

No clowns were funny. that was the whole purpose of a clown. people laughed at clowns, but only out of nervousness. the point of clowns was that, after watching them, anything else that happened seemed enjoyable
People Purpose Clown
So many things suddenly made sense for the clowns, for the whole idea. i’d been going through a struggle, particularly after 9/11; i couldn’t figure out what i wanted to say. i still wanted the work to be the same kind of mixture – intense, with a nasty side or an ugly side, but also with a real pathos about the characters – and clowns have an underlying sense of sadness while they’re trying to cheer people up. clowns are sad, but they’re also psychotically, hysterically happy.

Silly Character Blow
But whenever i meet dynamic, nonretarded americans, i notice that they all seem to share a single unifying characteristic: the inability to experience the kind of mind-blowing, transcendent romantic relationship they perceive to be a normal part of living. and someone needs to take the fall for this. so instead of blaming no one for this (which is kind of cowardly) or blaming everyone (which is kind of meaningless), i'm going to blame john cusack.
