"After which, obviously, he will become president of the United Nations, train a flock of African gray parrots to perform free colonoscopies in the developing world, and launch himself into space in order to explain the human heart to aliens living at the pulsing core of interstellar quasars."

Priceless.


Or how about this one: "He’s not a savant or an obvious genius — he’s someone of mortal abilities who seems to be working immortally hard."

Fantastic. Hard work is probably the biggest difference at the margin.


Yes, I like margarine too.


Forget the first, obvious question: Why are we reading this at all? (It's got 27 upvotes already, so that speaks for itself.) Why are we looking at this on some Instapaper+Tumblr site rather than from its source, namely New York Magazine?

This came up the other day in a thread linking to a Posterous link. It's good to see that Tumblr is also in the reposting business. (Edit: Found the other item about Posterous https://qht.co/item?id=1990945)

Here's a direct, and nicely readable & printable, link:

Intense article!

Franco is probably strong enough at math to realize that the more he immerses himself in the art world, the strongly the probability is that he will become truly iconic.

He also seems to be enjoying the ride. And he basically defines self-actuation. I'm sort of jealous.
