Madeleine L’Engle’s ‘A Wrinkle in Time’ has been targeted by censors for promoting New Ageism, and Mark Twain’s ‘Adventures of Huckleberry Finn’ for promoting racism. Gee, where does that leave the kids?
Some of my fondest memories are of being in a van. It can be exhausting, but many adventures can be had.
In 2006 or something, I was recording the voices for this short, ‘The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti.’ I was having fun doing these really crappy Doc Brown and Marty McFly impressions. During the middle of a line, a burp came out naturally. It was just so funny and gross.
I was alone as a child. I lived in fairytales, adventures, Shakespeare. They are the friends, my books.
I had to make a living, so I got happily diverted into writing about expeditions and adventures.
At a meet and greet in a nightclub in Texas, a girl who looked about 15 years old gave me a VHS copy of ‘Adventures in Babysitting,’ and she whispered in my ear that it’s really just home movie footage of her dad practicing judo.
I’ve always felt that the human-centered approach to computer science leads to more interesting, more exotic, more wild, and more heroic adventures than the machine-supremacy approach, where information is the highest goal.
The one thing I’m a firm believer in is that cars are the best thing to be around on television. They are exciting. They’re fun. They elicit emotions. They can take you on adventures. They can make you laugh, make you cry. They’re the best medium.
There are two books that impressed me when I was very young. One was ‘The Adventures of Augie March’ – the idea of having something so generous, and so adventurous and improvisatory. The other was ‘The U.S.A. Trilogy,’ by John Dos Passos.
My dad is the type of person that says yes to life, and to the adventures it throws at you. Because of that, he never forced me into a particular career, or had wild expectations for me; his concern was simply that I was fulfilled and happy.
Some people perceive ‘Ghost Adventures’ to just be a ghost show on TV, but things are getting very serious, and we are making history in our findings.
Everyone around me, they are very supportive of my adventures.
When I began my career as a flight attendant, I was a 21-year-old with a B.A. in English and stars in her eyes. I wanted to see every city in the world. I wanted to have adventures that, I hoped, would fuel a writing career some day.
