When I think of some of my earlier work, it really seems a fortunate coincidence that I succeeded.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
So, it's nice to know that you've inspired someone to do their life's work.
I'm always surprised by things that happen to my work.
I guess initially I was amazed that somebody would see something within my work that they could really relate to, but the more it's happened, the more people have come forward, I've really realized that we're all kind of going through the same thing at the same time.
What's lucky about my career in general is that I stumbled into what every writer most wants. Not repeating myself and doing strange things has become my trademark.
It's most beautiful thing about my work. I have reached people who I would never have known without my work.
You know, sometimes I get moments of inspiration when I'm writing something and then the task seems so daunting that it just kind of scares me away.
In every successful still photographic project that I have completed, there has always been a turning point in the story where I felt that perhaps I was working on something that could be very special.
The illusion is that most of my work is simply about past events: a point in history and nothing else.
I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the level of success I've had. I was just writing stories for my own sons.
I don't think about my previous success. I'm happy that the work I've done has been very successful.
