I HATE “I might not know art, but I know what I like.” I hate that. “I might not know art, but I know what I like.” But also – you do know art. You might not know all the words around it but you are sentient and it is happening around you all the time. What you are...
BROCKLE (Neil’s girlfriend – Ed): “Your articles are horrible.” People seem to like them. Came as a surprise to me, actually. “Sentences without subjects. Subject. Verb. Object. That’s how the English language works.” It’s malleable. And it’s fascinating to make...
