More From Hubert Selby, Jr.

So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. i'm not happy. i don't know what's wrong. if i just had another job, i could be happy. if i just get married, i would be happy. well if i just wasn't married, i would be happy. well, if i just had some kids, i'll be happy. i'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. if i had a bigger house, i would be happy. well, i got a big house. now if i just had a maid to clean, i'd be happy. well, now if i just had a maid i could get along with better, i'd be happy.

I read reviews of critics i respect and feel i can learn something from. right now there are a lot of bottom-feeder critics who just have access to a computer and don't necessarily have an academic or cinema background that i can detect, so i tend to ignore that and stay with the same top-tier critics that i've come to respect. i like reading a good review - it doesn't have to be favorable, but a well-thought-out one - because i very much appreciate the relationship of directors and critics.
Reading Appreciate Computer
Oh god, are there so many of them in our land! students who can’t be happy until they’ve graduated, servicemen who can’t be happy until they are discharged, single folks who can’t be happy until they’ve found a mate, workers who can’t be happy until they’ve retired, adolescents who aren’t happy until they’re grown, ill people who aren’t happy until they’re well, failures who aren’t happy until they succeed, restless who can’t wait until they get out of town, and in most cases, vice versa, people waiting, waiting for the world to begin.
Land People Waiting
People think i'm against critics because they are negative to my work. that's not what bothers me. what bothers me is they didn't see the work. i have seen critics print stuff about stuff i cut out of the film before we ran it. so don't tell me about critics.
Cutting Thinking People
There are television critics, movie critics, and theater critics too who i like and who i follow and i get genuinely bummed when they don't like something that i've written because i usually agree with them.
Television Theater Critics
When critics ask you if you feel vindicated by other critics - i didn't like critics then, and i don't like them now. there you go. i've always been outside the mainstream, and it stayed that way.

In my own experience, including when i ask for advice, i would ask a collaborator, a friend, i also like to hear the opinion of a woman because they have such wealth. they look at things in a different way.

I turn down invitations to do things for money. i have almost no interest in making money. actually, i've acquired a fair amount of money that i will never live to spend. so earning money, in a way, depresses me, because i feel it's just piling up.
