And that's perfectly fine...

...Curtis Sittenfeld: 'I know my characters are unlikable sometimes'
I think we can have this tendency to feel like famous people just exist for us to be amazed by or to comment on their clothes. They are real people. They brush their teeth, they have families. I do think George Bush and Laura Bush are real people [but] I have really negative feelings about George Bush's presidency. The way I feel about it is: if he hadn't been president and if he'd been the uncle of a friend of mine and I'd sat next to him at a wedding, I would have thought: "Oh, this guy's really friendly and funny."
