"I'm always prepared for the worst. I was prepared to have the book come out, sell seven copies, and have to keep working in advertising, so it was just great that it was received so well and by such a huge audience."
Advertising
"I like, though, that people have a hunger to connect with other people. They're desperate to know that you're not lying to them or misleading them."
