The idea that I could push the envelope using dedication and research and endless curiosity has propelled me in my life's work.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.
I get inspiration from my everyday life.
I just want to do great work: work that inspires people... To know that you are given this gift in life and that you can gift other people with it, that's the most rewarding thing for me.
My career as a magazine writer was largely prefaced on the idea of curiosity, to go on adventures and weasel my way into the lives of people that I admire.
I was motivated by just thinking that if you had all this external success that everyone would love you and everything would be peaceful and wonderful.
So, it's nice to know that you've inspired someone to do their life's work.
In my career the push has always been to take another step, to try something new.
Every day I am inspired by what's possible.
I hope to devote all of my spare time, which ordinarily would go to research, my summers, and every ounce of strength I can muster to further the project.
I'm the least-experimental writer. The idea of trying things just for the sake of pushing the envelope, that's never really interested me.
