From this essay: 

I agree with you in spirit, vicious hipster kids. Of course MTVs programming is vapid and retarded. Of course it’s incredibly depressing that the market has supported their ride down the slippery slope of Herculean atrocities against brain cells. But if I had a way to use that colossus to my own ends… I’d do it without batting an eye. And keep on going.

I’m not just pulling a Lewis Black here. You want to call MTVs programming vapid? Make Something Better. I know you can do it. But you’re going to have to sweat blood. It’s easier to throw stones. 
 

…

I want to get my work out there to people, and eat at the end of the day. I’d shoot myself in the face if I was driving an Aston Martin with $30,000 spark plugs, but I’m sipping on a pretty good 2004 Riesling right now, and I prefer it to Pabst Blue Ribbon, thank you very much.
