You Can't Be A Good Person When You're Writing And A Bad Person To Your Husband Or A Bad Friend. You Can't Be A Jerk In Order To Be A Good Writer. You Can't Say, "i'm Too Busy Writing To Be Political." You Are One Person. You Are The Same Person In Every Aspect Of Your Life, And You Have To Be A Responsible Person In Every Aspect Of Your Life.
