We envy folly and conceit; nay, we go so far as to envy whatever confers distinction of notoriety, even vice and infamy.

I just thought, "Well, is there a way to bring my life into the fiction I'm writing, will it make a difference?" And the fact is, it doesn't make any difference. It was a kind of experiment which couldn't fail.
