It's not that I'm the only one, it's that I'm the honest one.

It's a great interview Jackal. One of the best pieces I've read in ages.

What is even happening?
That might be the best thing I've ever heard. Just because I imagine a conversation that goes, "How do you stay so fit?" "I chainsmoke! Next question?" And then Tim morphs into Hunter S. Thompson, which is disturbing on a number of levels. I think I need to sleep more.
If, after he morphed, he eats the head of the Health & Fitness reporter, then says, "And I eat right," I think you've got yourself a pilot, Strega.

I'd say the worst experience: when I was threatened with castration at Worldcon by someone in a large audience during a Q&A -- he was angry because of the bad messages my work is sending to America.
Ha!
It's even funnier because I imagine it being Greenwalt, all, "Bad for me; bad for America!"

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
That was a lovely interview.
So glad I wasnt at the castration threat event. I think I would have become violent.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Yeah... Drive encourages bad driving. Also, I've totally become a serial killer since I started watching Dexter.
Speaking of which, my girlfriend fancies Dexter. Should I be worried?

Speaking of which, my girlfriend fancies Dexter. Should I be worried?
It depends. I fancy Dexter a bit, but part of that is Michael C. Hall looking very fit and pulling off a fantastically nuanced performance; it's not like I'm planning to write love letters to convicted serial killers or lurk around prisons. I don't find sociopathy a turn-on.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
As long as they're on the television screen it's cool to be fascinated by these ruthless characters. But if, for example, Angel (of the eponymous series) actually existed, I would very much want him to be completely unaware of my existence.
