"I wish I knew everything about R. I wish I could vectorise in my sleep. I wish there were perfect R packages out there to solve all my data transformation problems. I wish there were perfect data."

"The Last Song” is based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks, who also wrote the screenplay. Sparks recently went on record as saying he is a greater novelist than Cormac McCarthy. This is true in the same sense that I am a better novelist than William Shakespeare. Sparks also said his novels are like Greek Tragedies. This may actually be true. I can’t check it out because, tragically, no really bad Greek tragedies have survived. His story here amounts to soft porn for teenage girls, which the acting and the abilities of director Julie Anne Robinson have promoted over its pay scale…To be sure, I resent the sacrilege Nicholas Sparks commits by mentioning himself in the same sentence as Cormac McCarthy. I would not even allow him to say “Hello, bookstore? This is Nicholas Sparks. Could you send over the new Cormac McCarthy novel?” He should show respect by ordering anonymously."

I really have the strangest fascination with Nicholas Sparks.
"I don’t write romance novels, any more than Tom Clancy writes legal thrillers. Yes, I write about love and relationships and Tom Clancy writes a thriller, but what I do would not be accepted by romance publishers, since the romance genre has numerous requirements and I don’t satisfy any of them. I write love stories, a completely different genre. If I wasn’t doing this, I have no idea what I’d be doing."

I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT ANYMORE. MIND. BLOWN.
