Charlie Rose interviewed the late David Foster Wallace, a contemporary American author, on March 27, 1997.
DFW: The stuff that I was doing was really more math than philosophy, and I don't know whether I would have taught. If you're good enough at that they just kind of put you in a think tank and let you write on yellow paper.

Very well said. Do you know David Foster Wallace in person? I would love to hear more about him and what he went through. I have suffered from depression my entire life and know what he must have felt. I tried to quit the pharma drugs twice and failed one time as well like David did, but I tried quitting again and then I knew that I had to pull through this time and that it would take a few months until the withdrawal effects had subsided. I did it and I am drug free since then.

@tjsbigidea your totally wrong about why this beautiful man killed himself. He suffered from depression his entire life and tried to stop taking his meds because they began to obstruct his ability to work and write. He was still unable to work off the meds, so he began to take them again to no results. I image most people, myself included, would never be able to understand what he was going through, because he did genuinely see things clearer than you or I.

Just finished Infinite Jest. Could have been twice as long and I still would have loved it. DFW was a genius.

Dave was not weird @ all. As a matter of fact he saw things clearer than most people you'll encounter.
Oh, I guess he's weird because he has a headband - that's pretty lame

I love that he just throws "cunctation" in there so casually.
