“Life, friends, is boring. We must not say so.” — John Berryman Quote

Life, friends, is boring. We must not say so.

These Songs are not meant to be understood, you understand.

We must travel in the direction of our fear.

I am so wise I had my mouth sewn shut.

The artist is extremely lucky who is presented with the worst possible ordeal which will not actually kill him. At that point, he's in business.

A special effect is a tool, a means of telling a story. A special effect without a story is a pretty boring thing.

I'm a pretty boring person.

I love pretending to be other people. The more unlike me they are the better - I find other people endlessly fascinating and myself incredibly boring.

I feel incredibly lucky at this moment in my career to get paid to do basically exactly what I always wanted to do. I appreciate that in general. But you know, like any job, a job is a job, and there are days that are going to be boring, or you have a boss you don't like, or people you work with.

The only thing I shy away from is non-consensual violence. I can't write a story where someone is a simple victim because it's boring.
