Not all of them say, ‘You’re shit!’ — some of them say, ‘You’re great!’ but in a way, that’s worse. Because when lots of people have said, “You’re shit!” you feel you have a duty to tell the people who say, “You’re great!” that a lot of other people think you’re shit and that they should maybe bear those statistics in mind before they make their final analysis. And if you’re trying to say all of this while you’re quite drunk — as I almost always am — then people are apt to stare at you in deep confusion after a minute or two, and then make their apologies and leave.
