The head of Fermilab was reading Astonishing Stories when he was ten.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The thing that got me closest to doing Kermit was remembering what Jim did when he was doing Kermit. When he would do Kermit, there were certain faces that he made. There was a certain way he stood, a certain kind of body language that he had.
I'm not a fan of Dr. Seuss's better-known work, but his fables leave me awe-struck. 'Ten Tall Tales' is a collection of stories where his trademark anarchy is combined with a tautness of writing that shines an affectionate yet uncompromising spotlight on some of the absurdities of human behaviour.
I did not discover literature of any kind until I was about eleven, or ten.
I was nine. I saw Orson Welles in 'Julius Caesar.' It was involving, emotional, imaginative. I've never forgotten it.
I'm not one of those people who writes a biography or tries to figure out what kind of ice cream the character liked when he was 10.
As a child, I was an obsessive reader, as was everybody in my family all winter long with my father. I think I was only 8 when I read Edward Gibbon's 'The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.'
I remember vividly what it's like to read as a 10-year-old - that passionate inhabiting of a book.
I used to read comics when I was a kid.
I wrote the book in my head when I was 6 years old.
When he was twenty-three or twenty-four my father began to learn German and read philosophy in his spare hours, which did not look as though he were destined to remain long on board ship!
