Check out an interview with Tucker Max the guy who rose to fame by writing a book called I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell which was a collection of his stories of getting drunk and hooking up with college girls. Now he’s back with some more jerkery in his new book Assholes Finish First, check him out:

WW: So in a way, you’ve just kind of adopted a negative label that other people have assigned to you?

TM: I would say I’ve co-opted it. Here’s a good analogy: You know how the word “queer” used to be a negative thing to say about a gay person, but then homosexuals kind of adopted of co-opted that word? And they kind of took it over and started calling themselves queer, and now there’s the queer alliance and all this sort of stuff, and now it’s not a negative term anymore? I would say it’s a similar type of thing. Like, if people want to critique me as being an asshole, fine. I’m an asshole. And then whatever I say, if I do things that are asshole-ish or whatever and I co-opt that title, then what else are you going to say about me? What are you going to say that I haven’t already said?

WW: Still, you’re obviously a smart guy. You have a JD from Duke Law, you were an honors student in college. Do you ever think one day you might want to do something more productive with your life?

TM: Hold on — what’s not productive about writing a book that sells millions of copies and makes and makes lots of people’s lives better. What’s unproductive about that? I mean, I’ve sold millions of books because people love what I write and it brings a lot of joy and happiness to them. I mean, I don’t know how many other people can say that. Clearly, I’m not like curing brain cancer. I don’t want to act like I’m a saint, because I’m not, but how many people are? I mean, the fact that I’ve positively touched the lives of millions, I’m not sure what else you want me to do to be productive.

Hopefully you haven’t slept with Tucker…..you might be in his book!  Check out Tucker’s interview with ABC’s Nightline after the jump where he admits he can’t remember how many girls he had sex with.
