Ah – Calvin and Hobbes! Hobbes is my role model. I like Gertrude, too. One of my favorite Stein quotes is: An audience is always warming but it must never be necessary to your work.
I often dance – all by myself in my little cottage to some favorite tune or out of doors when the sun and the wind and the sheer beauty of it all grab me up and swing me about. What someone else thinks of me is just that… they’re entitled to those thoughts but they don’t have much to do with me. Dance on, I say!
