More quotes by Joel Stein
You don't really want an army of people making individual decisions. And I don't think I completely understood that until people gave me examples of what happens when your army takes over your government and it's like, Oh, yeah, I guess you can't really have people make individual moral decisions.
Joel Stein
I've gotten thicker skin mostly from being older. You just stop caring quite as much about everything.
Joel Stein
I would be at home reading, because I felt so disconnected from humanity.
Joel Stein
I don't read letters sections of magazines, but I'll read anyone's blog post about me.
Joel Stein
I have some idea that if I pick on [boy band] One Direction, I'll get a ton of hate mail, because I know that when you're 15, you love a band like you will kill people. But I don't quite realize that that's true about people - adults - who read The Hunger Games.

When Time got rid of my column, I thought it was all over. It was really sad. And then, I just started pushing it to lots of places. And I thought someone would run my column, I thought it was popular, and no one wanted it.
Joel Stein
You have to live among rich liberals to understand what they're saying. You'll never believe what they mean by 'middle class.' They mean themselves.
Joel Stein
I'm not that clued into what people are that touchy about and how many of them there are and how niche these niches are.
Joel Stein
I don't like to be in the forest. It's a weird thing. I've learned to have a general appreciation for nature, which has taken a while. But the forest, I still don't really love.
Joel Stein
You're not going to change anyone's mind. Especially online.
Joel Stein
People are different in different situations and people are different online than they are in real life.
Joel Stein
The truth is that people who pull triggers are ultimately responsible, whether they're following orders or not. An army of people making individual moral choices may be inefficient, but an army of people ignoring their morality is horrifying.
Joel Stein
I try to see what that person is thinking or feeling about that particular day. I just get more of a sense of what that person's like and hopefully it's more interesting than a normal conversation.
Joel Stein
I don't read the letters section of Time magazine. I think it's just my habit as a reader. I don't read comments on stories, in general.
Joel Stein
It's hard to discipline yourself not to explain yourself or apologize.
