This is a horrible interview. Somebody needs to speak to an editor.

If the idea was to make Albert seem like a vacuous twit, well, that didn’t work either because it was so poorly put together.

You have to do a little bit more than run the tape recorder and transcribe the results.

That’s why you don’t see pictures of us hanging with Paris.

The same, unfortunately, cannot be said for Carrie Fisher.

Albert’s fifteen minutes lasted fourteen minutes too long. Thank god they’re done with.

They are not great books, you idiot. And she sounds like a fool. Please, stop feeding her ego. And get yourself some taste.

First of all, they’re great fuckin’ books.

So why not publish them as novels, instead of thinly-disguised memoirs?

Sorry. It’s good that you’re loyal to your old friends and all, but whether you believe that she is someone who pulls “odd, occasional, scandalously-complex, literative meta-performance[s]“, or just the hipster version of James Frey, she’s still no more interesting than she was before she made up a person that people paid attention to.
