I SLEPT IN MY OFFICE MOTHERFUCKERS. I SPENT YEARS WRITING FOR FREE AND EATING RICE FOR DINNER. I HAD NO SOCIAL LIFE. GOOD THINGS DON'T HAPPEN TO YOU WITHOUT A BUNCH OF MOTHERFUCKING HARD WORK, and don't believe a SINGLE thing anyone else tells you.' And then they'll be like, 'Wow we're not interviewing this cray person anymore.' And I'll be like, 'Whatever. I have work to do, peace.'”
