My very first drawing at 2 was of a killer whale from the movie Orca on one of those magnetized drawing pads. It had huge eyes, no blowhole, and was definitely not a killer. That started a lifetime of art and the like. I don't draw nearly as much as I used to, but I'm still in love with films and thankfully, do what I love.

I like to laugh an awful lot, on an hourly basis, if necessary. I also like making others laugh. I consider it to be the gift of the gods so why not mine it for all it's worth.

I have no sense of smell due to the ravages of bad genes and allergies. I am utterly useless in detecting a fire or ferreting out smuggled drugs. However, I will probably always have a future in sewage treatment or quality control.

I pull off an excellent british accent from living abroad, specifically from the Yorkshire area. That's where Wallace and Gromit are from for you Yanks.

I lose myself completely when I dance, and I find myself again in a crowded room of strangers.

I think you can tell a lot about someone from their group of friends and loved ones, and I feel blessed to have a stellar group of them, varied in interest, culture, personality, and way of life. They're all great finds and wonderful human beings.
