What a great outlook -- of course, he doesn't define what he thinks a
"limited time (in the Thomas Jefferson sense)" really is, so we're each
left to picture our own interpretation of that remark.
But he certainly hits the nail on the head -- none of us in any of the
creative fields works in a vacuum. We build on those who came before
and pave the way for those who are to come later, and I like his
realization that his stories were never really his to start with.
I wish more people in the creative marketplace would share his thoughts
-- I know that I sure do.
