James Hansen, "father of global warming"

Can we do post humous award? Amelia Earhart...seeing she has been brought back to screen recently, refreshed our memories, a fine example of the wonderful crafter?

[Goodrum]

"Greatest show on earth" -Richard Dawkins...(not that I've read his latest), but he is everywhere being interviewed at the moment(in Australia), but world known, and refreshing to listen to ...truth, truth, truth! Richard. He is really interesting, a nice break from mainstream radio..especially if he has some half decent interviewer to bounce off.

Ever enduring.

[Goodrum]

...AND! a wonderful, intelligent, beautiful example of a performer, without (well, none we know of, visible), dark escapes...is Meryl Streep.

Taken it up to hollywood, at 60 yo when women can be cast off like god knows what, playing her heart out and into everything she carefully selects, a wonderful role model for girls and women, never compromised her dignity.. and bought us all so much entertainment. A really smart and wise performer.

She lights up the screen and our lives.

A great artisan.

The Greatest.

Reading for me was a refuge. I could escape from everything that was miserable in my life and I could be anyone I wanted to be in a story, through a character. It was almost sinful how much I liked it. That's how I felt about it. If my parents knew how much I loved it, I thought they would take it away from me. I think I was also blessed with a very wild imagination because I can remember, when I was at an age before I could read, that I could imagine things that weren't real and whatever my imagination saw is what I actually saw. Some people would say that was psychosis but I prefer to say it was the beginning of a writer's imagination. If I believed that insects had eyes and mouths and noses and could talk, that's what they did. If I thought I could see devils dancing out of the ground, that's what I saw. If I thought lightning had eyes and would follow me and strike me down, that's what would happen. And I think I needed an outlet for all that imagination, so I found it in books.
External success has to do with people who may see me as a model, or an example, or a representative. As much as I may dislike or want to reject that responsibility, this is something that comes with public success. It's important to give others a sense of hope that it is possible and you can come from really different places in the world and find your own place in the world that's unique for yourself
