excerpt from a ~2.5 hour interview with tao lin on MDMA
Chandler Levack: I don’t know. What really depresses you?
tao lin: What ‘depresses me?’
CL: Yeah. And what makes you really happy?
TL: What really depresses me is when I like a girl and they’re not responding as much to me.
CL: Really?
TL: Yeah.
CL: That’s way more depressing than like The New York Times –
TL: Definitely.
CL: – like giving you a bad review?
TL: Yeah! Like if I’ve emailed a girl that I like a lot and they haven’t responded in a few days, I feel really bad. The New York Times and other stuff like that doesn’t affect me at all.
CL: It’s the personal stuff.
TL: Yeah. Like my goal in life isn’t to get every review ‘loves me.’ That wouldn’t affect me at all. My goal in life is to like…find a girlfriend.
