“I was about 20 when my mom got sick with cancer and it was bad. It was very scary and at the time I was doing my first screenplay and I was on deadline and was alone with my father in Massachusetts. I said, "Pop, you know, I don't how I'm going to work. I don't know how I can get this done. You know, I got to hand this script in and I can't think about anything but Mom." He said, "Well, you know, now is the time when you're going to learn what it means to compartmentalize."

You get more overhead. You get more things you got to take care off.” PeopleThinkingMenKindMeanChildrenDoneCarePainParentRealizingResponsibilityGrowing UpEmotionalToughTake CareEmotional Pain Author:John Buffalo Mailer

When an event goes on that chances are they're going to want that specific expert who has done it to be on the show talking about it, not a writer or an artist of any sort, which I think is a mistake because you know we don't have... I mean we have them, but there is certainly not you know in strong force public philosophers anymore.” ThinkingMeanDoneArtistStrongChanceMistakeStudyPhilosopher Author:John Buffalo Mailer
