Thinking outside the box…
Advice for writers from George Carlin’s last interview:
On Finding a Unique Angle
“One of the voguish terms, which is so repellant to me, “thinking outside the box.” To settle for that kind of language is embarrassing. But that’s a very useful picture. I try to come in through the side door, the side window, to come in from a direction they’re not expecting, to see something in a different way.”
