I seem to have been everywhere in the last 30 years, maybe not in the epicenter but flying around the periphery of extraordinary events and equally extraordinary people.

fans great-poetry great-poet

character gay men

careers photogenic
I loved looking at myself when I was very photogenic, at the very beginning of my career.
thinking sweat smell
I smell of sweat. I don't like people smelling of all these weird things. I think deodorant is disgusting.

lying heart unconditional-love
To give and not expect anything in return, that is what lies at the heart of love.
