There are a number of people in Hollywood where I have said the following about them for years: Their most successful fictional narrative is the story of who they are. Which is not who they are. It’s the *story* they’ve put out there and most people are convinced by it.
Love art. But no pedestals.

My husband just helped me understand how awful people who create good art:
"Neil Gaiman is a character created by Neil Gaiman."
His public personna was convincing. He might have thought it would be labeled non-fiction forever. His art and his facade contain good characters. But he isn't one.

My most-viral post ever:
“Book historian who tells students constantly that if they listen to the audiobook, they are literally reading 18th century novels the way the large chunk of the original audience experienced the book. Silent, solitary reading by eye alone is so so recent!”
