If You're Lucky, You Go From Being

I Saw Richard Linklater's Film 'slacker' For My Twenty-first Birthday. That Was The Moment When It All Seemed Possible. This Guy Gave Me Hope.

My Job Is To Say, 'this Is How I See The World. Do You Agree?'

It's Too Expensive, That's The Thing Nobody Wants To Talk About. It Is Too Expensive To Make Movies. That's Not True, It Is Too Expensive To Market Movies. Making Movies Is Not.

Storytelling Is My Currency. It's My Only Worth. The Only Thing Of Value I Have In This Life Is My Ability To Tell A Story, Whether In Print, Orating, Writing It Down Or Having People Acting It Out.

It's Not Like Someday My Kid's Gonna Be Standing Over My Grave, And Somebody's Gonna Hang Her A Folded Flag And Say, "you Know What? This Is 'cause He Did 24 Hours Straight On Twitter." But It's Just One Of Those Little Personal Victories, Like, "i Wonder If I Can Do This." And I Did It. A Stupid Goal, But I Accomplished It. Life's All About...for Me, At Least...having Very Stupid Achievable Goals. That Way, You Always Feel Like A Winner.
