My humour has always come from anger, but I have to make sure I dont just get angry and jump on a soapbox. – Carl Hiaasen
Good satire comes from anger. It comes from a sense of injustice, that there are wrongs in the world that need to be fixed. And what better place to get that well of venom and outrage boiling than a newsroom, because youre on the front lines. – Carl Hiaasen
Humor can be an incredible lacerating and effective weapon. And that is the way I use it. – Carl Hiaasen
Ive always enjoyed making people laugh. But in order for me to be funny, I have to get ticked off about something. – Carl Hiaasen
I get in trouble when I say things like, Im attracted to violence. I was a pretty angry kid, and I got into military history largely as a way to vent my own anger. As I got older it narrowed down to a more specific focus on individual violence. Im just trying to understand where it came from. – Caleb Carr
