An Interview with Dame Darcy

I go on those dating shows to get publicity. (laughs) And it gets me publicity. I don't go on those shows to get dates. Oh my god, the people... I'm going to make out with somebody I don't know on TV? How do people think they're going to meet somebody who really cares about them? by Damien Weaver

An Interview with Molly Peacock

In fifth grade... I wrote a poem. I thought it had to have a rhyme scheme and I remember exactly, it started off “March is such a pretty month, filled with lots and lots of snow," I can’t remember the third line, but I remember the fourth line that rhymes with snow, “Has thirty-one days, you know.” And I loved that I addressed the reader and I did it out of desperation, but in a way my writing process at the age of ten is not hugely different from my writing process now, I have to confess. by Laura Leichum

An Interview with Marty Beckerman

Most (young writers) kind of suck. There are certain authors who are getting contracts when they're 14 years old, for a quarter million dollars, to write their memoirs. I'm just waiting for an 11-year-old girl to get a contract for a book called The Diary of My Pubes Coming In, (with a jacket quote by) Naomi Wolf: "This book explains the dilemma of women worldwide as they sprout pubes and fight the patriarchy. Howard Bloom molested me, but it never happened, 'cause I'm a crazy bitch!" Quote all of this; I don't give a shit. by Michael Schaub
