David Lipsky:
Do you wanna have kids?...
David Foster Wallace:
Yeah, I think that writing books is a little like raising children, y'know -you have to be careful; mm; it's ok to take pride in the work, but I think it's bad for someone to want the glory to reflect back on you.
David Lipsky:
I mean, sounds like you're worried about having children.
David Foster Wallace:
I'm not wanna say anymore about that - if that's ok?
