I find people who prejudge reality TV to be annoying. Art comes from anywhere. Culture can ooze out of any crack. Prejudging is the death of creativity.

More quotes by Douglas Coupland
My writing process is ritualized and monotonous, but there's no other way to get the job done. All other fiction writers I've met say the same thing.
Douglas Coupland
Figure out what it is in life you don't do well, and then don't do it.
Douglas Coupland
NOSTALGIA IS A WEAPON
Douglas Coupland
There's nothing at the center of what we do...No center. It doesn't exist. All of us-look at our lives: We have an acceptable level of affluence. We have entertainment. We have a relative freedom from fear. But there's nothing else.
Douglas Coupland
It was pivotal in making you but you don't remember it. Or do you? Do we understand the events that make us who we are? Do we understand the factors that make us do the things we do?
Douglas Coupland
At least when you're young you're also stupid.
Douglas Coupland
Nobody cares about worthiness. People care about what is real inside of you.
Douglas Coupland
Handmade presents are scary because they reveal that you have too much free time.

Douglas Coupland

Douglas Coupland
And I think back over my own life and I realize that my own nature-the core me-essentially hasn’t changed all these years. When I wake up in the morning, for those first few moments before I remember where I am or when I am, I still feel that same way I did when I woke up at the age of five.
Douglas Coupland
Beware of the corporate invasion of private memory.
Douglas Coupland

Douglas Coupland
You can never become rich unless you like rich people.
Douglas Coupland
The heart of a man is like deep water
Douglas Coupland
I kind of wonder if creativity is all morphing into one big thing that's not even art, but something universal and bigger.
Douglas Coupland
...we're told by TV and Reader's Digest that a crisis will trigger massive personal change--and that those big changes will make the pain worthwhile. But from what he could see, big change almost never happens. People simply feel lost. They have no idea what to say or do or feel or think. they become messes and tend to remain messes.
Douglas Coupland
I thought about how odd it is for billions of people to be alive, yet not one of them is really quite sure of what makes people people. The only activities I could think of that humans do that have no animal equivalent were smoking, body-building and writing. That's not much, considering how special we seem to think we are.
Douglas Coupland
