More quotes by Jim Goad

Jim Goad

Jim Goad
I never want to think or write about the topic again when I'm finished with it.
Jim Goad
When I write, I strain with every wizened fibre of my weathered frame to analyze every possible angle of any given subject.
Jim Goad
It's very odd to observe someone else taking your identity into their own hands and getting it all wrong. I don't think most people will ever get to experience how truly weird it is.
Jim Goad
In contrast to how my father treated me, I won't hit him, I won't call him evil, I'll give him affection, and I'll pay attention to him.
Jim Goad
Though your major media kept smacking me upside the head with the word multicultural, you goddamned Australians are the most racist bunch of people I've ever seen in my life.
Jim Goad
I didn't see much besides Melbourne and a quick trip down to the Twelve Apostles, but all the Aussies I encountered were good-spirited and had a fine sense of humor.
Jim Goad
People can be so heartless and dirty.
Jim Goad
When I see two women kissing, my only physical reaction is a strong desire to vomit in both of their mouths.
Jim Goad
My hatred is diamond-hard.
Jim Goad
I don't think fatherhood's changed me so much as it's conjured protective instincts I've had all along.
