“So when it comes to hooking up, remember: Sex is lovely but it isn't everything, and whether you have a shit ton or none, it's not a moral issue. It's about your physical and mental health and only you can decide if you are in balance, so don't fall prey to shady people or institutions that would slap a value judgement on you for getting your jush. Personally I don't like to be dick-matized. It's not a good look, especially since I know that a good dick is only really just that—a good dick. A great book, or a wonderful television show, or a sensationally restorative night's sleep can be equally if not more satisfying alternatives, and none of these will give you crabs.”

“I literally have no idea how the economy works. I couldn't even tell you in basic terms what the economy is. The stock market remains an elusive, boring mystery, and I just don't have the energy or interest in learning anything new right now.”

“If you are the kind of person who collapses into the bed after you climax, while your partner's orgasm is a brief postcoital afterthought, you're an asshole. I'm looking mostly at the menfolk, though I know very well shitheads abound in every size, color, and shape. It takes two to tango, Frank, so get back down there and make sure Vanessa isn't left high and dry. And if you can't figure out how to get things wet and wild, don't be afraid to ask the young lady what yanks her crank. A simple heartfelt query such as, "Hello, darling, I would love so much to help usher you to the absolute zenith of sexual climax. Is there anything in particular you'd like me to do that would precipitate this lovely event?" Bonus points if you're wearing a monocle and a tartan wool cape.”

“The first general rule is simple and it's one that hopefully all of us were taught in kindergarten: Don't be a goddamn rude-ass piece-of-shit fuck-face bitch. Or, in the queen's English: Kindness is key.”

“When you wake up in the morning, it is important to set the tone for the day. I like to jump out of bed, run to the bathroom, and stare in the mirror for a few minutes and give myself some positive words of encouragement like, "At least you still have your teeth! Now, get in the shower, you fucking bitch, and scrub the slime of that dead horse you call a body. Pronto!" (When you end a sentence with a foreign word, you invite a little culture into your life, and that's fun.)”

“Thankfully, heroin is one of the few drugs I've never done, and to this day I still don't really understand it's appeal. It has never seemed chic, glamorous, cool, or interesting. From what I can glean from the movies and real-life-anecdotal evidence, it's a really fun way to fall asleep standing up in the middle of the street, and an excellent way to choke to death on your own vomit when you're tuckered out in bed after an exhilarating bout of diarrhea. I'll just take the word of a longtime junkie friend I knew in Boston who after decades of being down-and-out finally kicked her habit. "It feels like you are wrapped in the warmest, most comfortable blanket of pure bliss, joy, and love and complete satisfaction," she said. "And then you get to spend the rest of your life trying to get back to this rush, while it fades away and grows more elusive with every try, as your life quickly disintegrates all around you." Fuck.”
