book capitalize experience trying
I think writing a book about this experience would be trying to capitalize on it in some way and that's not something I want to do at all.
always-trying long humanity
The best stories are universal stories that have been told for as long as humanity has existed it's just figuring out new ways to do it, with language, with structure. And so I'm always trying to do that.
pain people trying
And even though people try to pretend that pain doesn't do anything to them, none of us can really handle it. Everything bad we do in our life is because of pain of some kind.
ambition two trying
I'm trying to influence the next generation or two generations or three generations behind me. That's a big ambition of mine.
america people trying
The way America works, and the way L.A. works, is a very small percentage of people get what they want out of life, and a much greater percentage try very very hard and they don't. That's just the way it is.
believe ideas trying
I've always wondered what it would be like if the Messiah, or Christ Returned, were actually alive and living in our society; who would that person be, how we would identify them, how would they live and what would they believe in, how would society react to them? I decided to try and tell my idea of that story.
risk trying caught
Take the risk and do whatever you can do and try not to get caught. If you do get caught, do it again.
writing voice trying
I try to make the voice in my head come out onto the page. I try to make it much more conversational than other writing. I speak everything, so if something sounds right I write it. It's more about sound and the rhythm of speech than written language.
accurate
I've never had any interest at all in being a journalist or writing some sort of historically accurate autobiography.

Dr. Wilburn's extensive international experience should prove extremely valuable to Electronic Sensor Technology, as we continue to expand aggressively into Asia. With recent significant orders from Europe and Asia, we believe that Dr. Wilburn will play an integral role in helping the Company determine which international markets are the most attractive for the zNose(R), which is capable of capturing and analyzing nearly any odor, fragrance, or chemical vapor within ten seconds.
became begins front
Everything that I know and that I am and everything that I've done begins flashing right in front of my eyes. My past, my present, my future. My friends, my enemies, my friends who became enemies. Where I've lived, where I've been, what I've seen, what I've done. What I've ruined, what I've destroyed.
hearts skulls words
Sometimes skulls are thick.Sometimes hearts are vacant.Sometimes words don't work.
both memory three weeks
Everyone's memory is subjective. If in three weeks we were both interviewed about what went on here tonight, we would both probably have very, very different stories.
believe broke cathartic father heart help strong
As strong as our father was, it really broke his heart when she died. I believe it was pretty cathartic to help him get through his loss.
