Augusten Burroughs

As a child, I was never drawn toward depraved or extreme situations; I really wanted a normal little childhood. Unfortunately, that's just not what happened.

I think writers tend to be experience junkies, and I think they also tend to want to be on the outside looking in.

But I can also write in crappy motel rooms, while standing in line, or sitting in the dentist's chair.

What I find is most people have a civics book understanding for how Congress works and how a bill moves.

The Lebanese people voted this time for change. So they are not satisfied with the actual situation. They want to see a new government. They want to see a new vision.

I don't eat cereal actually... Frosted Flakes... that's as close as I can get.
