A 'thank-you' means more than we ever think,

A 'thank you' means more than we ever think,

I help many artists, who often don't want the world at their doorstep, bring their art to people who wouldn't normally see it,

I've been collecting since college, ... When we're children, we're taught to draw in the lines, use certain colors. In this art, the talent and the creativity we had as children hasn't been squashed. The early stuff is still there.

I've met men who've stood in long lines on my book tours, and they've said things like, 'I've read your books and they've changed the direction in my life, and I want to thank you.' I think they're standing in line for their wife or their mother or their sweetheart or somebody, but no.

I can't thank you enough. It means a great deal to me, and I'm just very happy you're here.
