“Job the great dramas of human life. You're at the New Yorker offices and we had an editor here. Was probably the most distinguished editor of the 20th century in many ways, William Sean. Yes.”
“Yeah, it was. Know it wasn't becoming a high office holder or anything, but in our world, it was a high office. And as a high office, there's a lot of responsibility because you want To do a number of things all at once, and it's gotten only more apparent lately, which is you want to uphold the values of a thing.”
“It's very so my earliest enthusiasm because I'm a child of rock and roll and that my earliest enthusiasm that had any intellectual import beyond yaya was Bob Dylan and I started listening to this and it's just my head blew up. And so everything that he would mention in a song became an interest of mine.”
“How is the transition from daily journalism to writing for the New Yorkers? When you're a newspaper reporter, you are rightly working on whatever you need to do to deepen your beat.”
