Some people get upset about critics and call them unintelligent or immature. Some even write letters complaining. Good luck whoever expects that will lead to new enlightened or insightful critics reflecting your opinion – which is probably the real story because the distance between our opinion and theirs is the same as the amount of hostility we feel when we don’t like them.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I think making up stuff is the best way to enjoy the situation and keep a little dignity because often they will misquote you or a later editor will rearrange things for their purposes and taken out of context your responses will look foolish. My favourite thing in interviews, lying. In fact regularly things are printed in a way that comes out as lies so why not alter the machine and intentionally insert some, might come out a little more truthful. Just a few lies and maybe one or two doozies (yes I’m working with Francis Ford Copolla next month) and then enjoy the final result and probably everything will be right with the world.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
