“I wish my job was being a bricklayer”
Everyone’s like, “Oh, you have a cushy life—you just sit around and write.” I’m like, “No, it’s actually really hard.” As I like to say, I wish that my job was being a bricklayer—because I would lay the bricks, the wall would be built, and that would be it. Nobody could deny that it’s a fucking brick wall. Nobody’s gonna come along and say, “Mmm, I think that brick should be over here.”

Yes! It’s like Arts vs. Science in school for me. Science stuff was just I could memorize. The Art stuff was the subjective stuff that gave me a headache. I beautiful headache.

To be fair towards bricklayers (and other trades), someone is always coming along and telling you how they would do it quicker and better. They also yell and swear a lot more than critics.

Clearly, the answer is to be a self-employed bricklayer.
