You saying that reminds me of earlier in the interview when he spoke about the certain, rare type of discipline it takes these days to dedicate yourself to art. How in the internet age everything is so fast and convenient that it's uncommon to have the patience to fulfill the part of us that benefits from reading or classical music. At the same time, maybe it's ironic that I'm writing this, on youtube, on the internet. Regardless, cheers to anyone who has dedicated themselves to come this far

The interviewer sounds sweet. Not like normal american media.

Das liegt an der Sprache! Lieblingsbeispiel aus American Psycho: "I maced her again" wird in der deutschen Übersetzung zu "Ich sprühte ihr noch einmal Pfefferspray ins Gesicht". Darüber hat schon Arno Schmidt nachgedacht.

: Me too. I might not say "relentlessly" arousing, but yeah, the sound of a hidden young woman's voice (I am a man) - and I wonder what body is attached to that delicate, accented (to an American) with a friendly laugh...
