Quote

I think I wanted to be a storyteller because I had a very active dream life. My life was boring, and I dreamed about a life bigger than my own. I've always just been that person, from my earliest memories at age 2.

I'm old enough to remember the advent of CD. You thought, What's this piece of space age technology that's in front of me? Now I ask, When's the last time you bought a CD?
