The other volunteers might have assumed the animals provided a respite from the loneliness and isolation that surrounded me during my college years, but few would understand that I simply preferred the company of animals over most humans. The soulful look in their eyes as they learned to trust me sustained me more than any social situation ever would.

So, at the end, I want my name to be up there with those artists; for people to say, he's one of those iconic figures you can't put in a box.”
“With the artists, I don't teach, I coach. I can't tell them how to make art. I tell them to make more art. I tell them to get up early and stay up late. I tell them not to quit.

It was an old song, old as the breed itself--one of the first songs of the younger world in a day when songs were sad.”
