I've never been much drawn towards satire of any kind.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never see myself as writing satire. I think I write about people as they really are, without making them better or worse.
Satire is a weapon, and it can be quite cruel.
Satire is tragedy plus time. You give it enough time, the public, the reviewers will allow you to satirize it. Which is rather ridiculous, when you think about it.
Satire works best when it hews close to the line between the outlandish and the possible - and as that line continues to grow thinner, the satirist's task becomes ever more difficult.
Satire can always be found everywhere. A people without love for satire is a dead people.
Satire is people as they are; romanticism, people as they would like to be; realism, people as they seem with their insides left out.
I try and write satire that's well-intentioned. But those intentions have to be hidden. It can't be completely clear, and that's what makes it comedy.
I like to write a lot of satire.
It is difficult not to write satire.
Satire is fascinating stuff. It's deadly serious, and when politics begin to break down, there is a drift towards satire, because it's the only thing that makes any sense.
