More From Calvin Trillin
- "I actually think of being funny as an odd turn of mind, like a mild disability, some weird way of looking at the world that you can’t get rid of."
- "With humor, it’s so subjective that trying to think of what the ideal reader would think would drive you crazy."
- "People, not just reporters, are more interested in politics than in government, so the actual issues wouldn’t be something that interested them."
