More quotes by Joel Stein
I don't read letters sections of magazines, but I'll read anyone's blog post about me.
Joel Stein
I think the local food movement has been taken to idiotic extremes. And so I wrote about that and people got pissed.
Joel Stein
I would be at home reading, because I felt so disconnected from humanity.
Joel Stein
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
When wine drinkers tell me they taste notes of cherries, tobacco and rose petals, usually all I can detect is a whole lot of jackass.
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
You can get away with stuff in a one-page story that you can't get away with in a book.
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 never thought to look at the New York Times one, even though I knew people were pissed off. I've seen YouTube videos from people who are pissed off at me about that and that takes a lot of effort to go find.
Joel Stein
The people who get places in life just say yes to everything.
Joel Stein
Online reaction is very different than real-world reaction.
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.
Joel Stein
Early on, even in college, I figured out that it was just more interesting to me to create content than to write about other people. So that makes it more marketable.
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 love sushi, but I'm not going to write a column about it.
Joel Stein
What I wound up doing, which I think is really journalistically dubious, is changing the order of some of the things I did, so that the things I ended up struggling with the most wind up being two-thirds of the way in.
Joel Stein
Reporting in general makes me pretty nervous. But I realized: all the amazing work experiences of my life were thanks to reporting. So that forces you to go do it.
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
I want to be heavily tied to a city that I write for every week, that knows my stuff and I can interact with.
