“If I'm not in the dead heat of working on something, I can end up spen...” — Susan Choi Quote

If I'm not in the dead heat of working on something, I can end up spending tons and tons of time on the Web, and I hate it. I feel the same shame I did in grad school when I was pretty much addicted to reruns of 'Star Trek: The Next Generation'. I wish someone would make the Web just go away. Just remove it from the earth.

I was the daughter of an immigrant, raised to feel that I needed to get excellent, flawless grades and a full scholarship and a graduate degree and a good job - all the stepping stones to conventional success.

I think 'Gatsby' is hobbled, in part, by its status as a Great American Novel. People kind of roll their eyes before they've even opened it, treat it with a 'been there, done that' attitude. I know I did. It took me years to re-open the novel and see how much I'd missed.

I've at times in my past been so unhappy, and thought, like, 'I would give anything for this not to be happening.' And, you know, as people say, time passes, and then you think, 'I'm kind of glad that happened to me.'

I'm addicted to documentaries. That's all I watch on television.

I was a real sugar junkie. I don't think I realised I was actually fully addicted to it.

Clever gimmicks of mass distraction yield a cheap soulcraft of addicted and self-medicated narcissists.

People in America are addicted to sugar and to fat and to salt.

I was heavily addicted to a game called 'Diablo II.'
