I liked it when there was a certain amount of people who did not like what I was doing. If anything, I thought that was a positive thing.

I think a lot of people misinterpret what I'm doing because they think of it as just a joke or they think of it as disposable.

If something was confusing or difficult, then it was a positive thing. Confusion is a positive.

I honestly and truly love and believe in what I'm making, and it's not a joke, whereas some people would take a singer-songwriter sitting behind an acoustic guitar as sincere.

The things I'm making and doing I really like and think are interesting; I'm drawn to them.

The bigger the network, the harder it is to leave. Many users find it too daunting to start afresh on a new site, so they quietly consent to Facebook's privacy bullying.

We do not look in great cities for our best morality.

Young and old will sit and judge unfeeling, while the empty churches' bells are pealing. And the green hills lay ignored, untended, lonely watchers remain unbefriended.

It must be a hard thing, to be a father; living in fear that your daughter would meet a boy she liked, but also having to worry if she didn't.
