3->"Abandoned. I consider this the fan fic I most regret writing, but I admit it's not the worst thing I've written. A bad yaoi story I wrote in high school was WAAAAAAAAAAY worse, along with my super bad ''[[WesternAnimation/SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperforceGo Super Robot Monkey Team]]'' fan fics from seventh grade. That being said, I don't like talking about this fic in any capacity, and I'd rather put it behind me."

20->''How do I know why I ever thought of the revolting man? I must have been mad! Why a Finn when I know nothing about Finland? Why a vegetarian? Why all the idiotic manerisms he’s got? These things just happen. You try something—and people seem to like it—and then you go on—and before you know where you are, you’ve got someone like that maddening Sven Hjerson tied to you for life. And people even write and say how fond you must be of him. Fond of him? If I met that bony, gangling, vegetable-eating Finn in real life, I’d do a better murder than any I’ve ever invented.''

Trouble is, in my day if you had a flop, and we all have flops, you took it off your CV, like a play that ran ten days, you didn't put it in ''Spotlight''. Naturally, you put up your good notices and the losers went out the window. Now with these bloody computers and the internet, you can't get rid of it.

But everybody's videos suck when they start out. You don't know editing software tricks top to bottom, your writing blows, you've got no experience, your acting is as convincing as a plastic slide, you've got no confidence in your voice, so it's okay.

139->''"In this cartoon we find Bugs stumbling, fumbling, and mumbling around, vainly seeking a personality on which to hang his dialogue and action, or-- in better words than mine--"walking around with his umbilical in his hand, looking for some place to plug it in." It is obvious when one views this cartoon, which I recommend only if you are going to die of ennui, that my conception of timing and dialogue was formed by watching the action in the La Brea tar pits. [[SelfDeprecation It would be complimentary to call it sluggish.]] Not only Bugs suffered at my hands, but difficult as it is to make an unassertive character like Elmer Fudd into a [[TheDitz flat, complete schmuck]], I managed.

I don't like the episode, I don't get the episode, it doesn't make sense to me, and I know a lot of people liked it and that's great, then you can give tons of credit and praise to everyone else on the show, but it's not my thing and I didn't like it. It was just really mean. It was a premise that was written by somebody else. Don't go on any witch-hunts, I don't know who it was. But that's what happens on a show, you have a back-log a bunch of premises, get them approved, and then you can hand them out to the writers.''
