Sarcasm is an adjusted stress reaction.

It's funny, actually, I always think Rose would have been a better character if the narrative had acknowledged her flaws and let her grow out of them, instead of letting them become pathological, then claiming they were virtues. That's not a bad character, that's bad writing.

(No disrespect to Billie Piper, who I am sure is awesome in her own right.)

I LOVE BILLIE SO. I finished her book feeling a lot of respect for her, which is not usually the outcome from reading autobiographies of former teen popstars.
