Do what you love - Ray Bradbury

The man with all of the ideas is Ray Bradbury, the man behind Fahrenheit 451 and so many other classics. It was very cool watching these interviews because you get to hear the reasons and the ideas all right at the source. He seems like such a fun guy and a very nice man. His life is intriguing from start to present. As a kid he follows wha he loves to do and leaves behind death. He conquers his fear of flying by making himself fly on a plane. The way his greatest books come together took him just hours to write. And F451 was written in a library within a day!

Ray Bradbury was inspired as a boy, and now he has inspired me to really start pursuing what i love. His quote "Do what you love and love what you do," is going to be one of my moto's for the rest of my life. I love to drum and climb: that is what ive come up with so far. I will start to pursue those things and see where it takes me.

I really hope his film comes together because he is such a good man and has lived a very long time to see this ambition become a reality. F451 was a film before but not a very great one at all. Next time around, it will be because Ray will be right there with the production guys creating it.

Thank you Ray Bradbury, i will always remember your name, your books, and your quote.

  1. I love that you say you will always remember Bradbury's quote. He repeated this all throughout the longer interview, and it was all that I could focus on. It seems that all he wants (for anyone that watches him) is to be happy. I'm always going to remember that, too.
