“Sometimes young people write me; I know, really, you Greg? Yeah, they fuckin’ do. Because they listen to this show, because no other grown-up is talking to them about Caravaggio and James Joyce. Seriously. The adults in their life are like, “LET’S GO TO THE SONIC AND GET A CHEESEBURGER. SHUT UP, OUR TEAM LOST…. You needed the guidance of an older voice to let you know that it’s okay to have a voice like mine, to be artistic, to be a fuckin’ sissy and have your own opinions…. But you need to be told, I think, at a certain point, when you’re like 13 or 14, someone has to say to you. Otherwise, you get to 17, and you’re like, ‘FUCK,’ and you get to 20 and you’re like, ‘SUPER FUCK,’ and you get to 30 and you’re like, ‘Fuck, 3 kids down the line and 2 wives later and I’m unhappy. Why didn’t anybody tell me I could do what I fucking wanted to fucking do, when I was 14?’ So I’m telling you. You can fucking do what you fucking want to do.”
—Greg Proops (from The Smartest Man in the World podcast, following his quotation of Samuel Beckett - ‘Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.’) (via punnylittlepiggy)
