Fame is a lot of fun, but it's not interesting. I loved being noticed and praised, even the banquets. But they didn't have anything that I wanted. After about six months, I found it boring.

I never wanted fame.

The next six or seven months will really be an interesting time.

I invented animals and birds - I had about two dozen. After working on them for six months, I sat down and just for fun wrote two dozen poems to accompany the drawings. It was for no one to every see, but a friend sent me in to an editor.

I wanted to be loved by my father. I could do anything to be loved by my father.

I loved being a judge, and sometimes I miss the power of the gavel, but this is a lot more fun.
