Quote

Deliver me from Swedish furniture. Deliver me from clever art. And the phone rang and Tyler answered. If you don't know what you want, the doorman said, you end up with a lot you don't. May I never be complete. May I never be content. May I never be perfect. Deliver me, Tyler, from being perfect and complete.

Hardly anyone's idea of a with-it social register.

I try to tell a story the way someone would tell you a story in a bar, with the same kind of timing and pacing.
