"All of the best things in life require a degree of embarrassment, or at least the possibility of it. ... The only way to live a life without embarrassment is to simply not care about your actions or how others perceive them, to always have your guard up and play your cards close to your chest. A life that sounds, frankly, terrible. Being cool and disinterested and unaffected by the world is a bleak existence, like living near a river that you never swim in."
