Hyperbole is something I'd better avoid.

Hyperbole is not easily dealt with. Usually, it collapses under its own weight.

I think writers are prone to hyperbole sometimes.

Hyperbole has been part of elections since the days of John Adams, and there's nobody better than Joe Biden to give us a little hyperbole, as we all know.

Of course on air I use occasional hyperbole to tell a story.

The important thing in writing is the capacity to astonish. Not shock - shock is a worn-out word - but astonish.

I like to shock people.

I don't just want to upset people and shock people by saying something really outrageous.

The political environment we create matters because a disturbed person cannot always tell the difference between explosive rhetoric and explosive actions.
