My son thinks I'm hilarious, but he's only 1.

I still draw a lot though. Ballpoint pen is my preferred medium.

I like the outdoors and the natural world. Environmental issues.

I don't have much choice these days in how I have my hair.

I like the fact you can spend two hours setting up a scene that will only last a couple of seconds. And I like just sitting around and dozing between scenes!

To depersonalize man is the dominant drift of our times.

The most difficult thing is what is thought to be the simplest; to really see the things which are before your eyes.

There is hope for the future, and when the world is ready for a new and better life, all these things will some day come to pass, - in God's good time

I'm a person of whim, and easily distracted. I don't like multitasking. When I'm doing one thing, I like to do just that thing.

Is it not the case that many a life journey starts out in the opposite direction to its destiny?
