It’s like I came to America’s doorstep wearing a cheap blazer spouting a bunch of lies and looking crazy, but I had a letter with me that said, “Let this man in. He’s not just crazy. It is all just an act. Signed, Jon Stewart.”
Theodora Goss on storytelling:

A story should be like a steel beam covered with butterflies.
