More quotes by Joel Stein
I want to be heavily tied to a city that I write for every week, that knows my stuff and I can interact with.
Joel Stein
The fun thing about journalism is if you go do a story about something, you can now ask three intelligent questions about it. Or say three intelligent things. And that gets people talking.
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 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 love sushi, but I'm not going to write a column about it.

I've learned over time that every editor has told me when you're getting that much hate, you don't talk about it. You just kind of don't give it oxygen and let it go away. It's almost - not always, but almost - always the best policy.
Joel Stein
People are different in different situations and people are different online than they are in real life.
Joel Stein
I don't read letters sections of magazines, but I'll read anyone's blog post about me.
Joel Stein
You're not going to change anyone's mind. Especially online.
Joel Stein
It's hard to discipline yourself not to explain yourself or apologize.
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
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 don't get anywhere without saying yes.
Joel Stein
I've gotten thicker skin mostly from being older. You just stop caring quite as much about everything.
Joel Stein
I can't imagine what someone would write that would infuriate me. Maybe if my loved one had died of some disease and someone was insensitive, that would piss me off.
