More From P. J. O'Rourke

You’re not exempt from math if you’re a republican, and you’re not exempt from math if you’re a democrat. you’re not exempt from math if you’re a liberal, and you’re not exempt from math if you’re a conservative. you still have to do math.
Math Conservative Republican
I noticed there were so many people, especially women, who would come up to me having recognized me from tv and say, 'i heard you were a math person, why math? oh my gosh, i could never do math!' i could just see their self-esteem crumbling; i thought that was silly, so i wanted to make math more friendly and accessible.
Self Esteem Silly Math
I'm a strong believer that you have to have an equal opportunity to fail and to try things that are hard. i always tell my students, "don't just take things that are easy for you. if you're really good at math, don't take just math. take classes that make you write. if you're a really great writer, but bad at math, take math and make yourself work your way through it."
Strong Writing Math
You may end up with a different math, but you're entitled to your math. i'm entitled to the math.
Math Different May
In high school, a teacher once suggested that i be a math major in college. i thought, 'me? you've got to be joking!' i mean, in junior high, i used to come home and cry because i was so afraid of my math homework. seriously, i was terrified of math.

Working with the kind of talent that i've gotten to work with, like the cast of sin city, it makes me think probably more fully dimensionally about what is going on behind their eyes. but i draw the way i draw, and ain't nothing gonna change that. although, i draw marv and i think, "boy, i could throw a little mickey [rourke] in there."

He learned to live with the truth. not to accept it, but to live with it. it was like living with an elephant. his room was tiny, and every morning he had to squeeze around the truth just to get to the bathroom. to reach the armoire to get a pair of underpants he had to crawl under the truth, praying it wouldn't choose that moment to sit on his face. at night, when he closed his eyes, he felt it looming above him.

Editing rooms are kind of, by definition, a bubble of you and the editor and what you're thinking. it's a truth-telling thing to watch it through someone else's eyes, is to get another level of real with your material. like, "maybe that's not that funny. maybe that's not as interesting. maybe that's redundant to something else. maybe we can cut down." i don't know. it's a brutal, honest process. you've got to be pretty - you can't be sentimental. you have to be. it's a cold process. you can't be nostalgic. you have to make those tough decisions.

How rich a god our god is! he gives enough, but we don't notice it. he gave the whole world to adam, but this was nothing in adam's eyes; he was concerned about one tree and had to ask why god had forbidden him to eat it.
