#satisfy

A non-fiction writer pretty much has the shape of the figure in front of him or her and goes about refining it. A work of non-fiction is not as difficult to write as a work of fiction, but it's not as satisfying in the end. ↗

Because when you have millions of people with this kind of need for gratification, and the culture is saying that it's possible for everyone to satisfy all of their needs and desires all of the time, there are obviously going to be clashes - clashes of ego. ↗

I think, ultimately, looking back now, acting wasn't satisfying me 100%. ↗

Stand-up is like a movie every night. You write it, direct it, produce it, the audience votes, and you go home. There's nothing more satisfying. ↗

The response to 'The Greatest Generation' and the books that followed has been one of the most satisfying experiences of my life. ↗
