The Walt Disney stories warm my heart- two futurists trying to help us build tomorrow - I wish we all had their passion because if more people thought like them, the world would be beautiful now

I miss Ray Bradbury, but was lucky to meet him in 1992 at a signing. He was a Great Man.

E.L. S. Well, that took so long to answer but oh, man, I must admit I am kinda jealous lol. I would LOVE to meet Ray Bradbury. His book Fahrenheit 451 is probably my most favorite book. Heck, he could teach me a thing or two about writing stuff. He's one of the reasons why I wanted to become a writer (besides becoming a actor, stuntman, filmmaker, you name it.)

My great aunt introduced me to Ray as they knew each other for decades. He invited me to a private party, then to a private screening of his film The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit at the Disney studios.

Wow! I've been a bookseller for thirty-four years and he's the only author I ever really wanted to meet, but never had the opportunity. Amazing storyteller.

I'll never be able to get that image of Ray with little shorts and socks up to his knees out of my head now lol.

I read somewhere that he sometimes dressed that way for the sake of being comfortable and was told by camera men they would shoot him so that he would only be seen in his jacket but that didn't always happen. Anyway, he liked to dress light in later life especially iin L.A. and this is an L.A. interview. so he felt at home. Most of his life in public he was quite buttoned down and I guess he was kind of tired of all that stuff. Cetainly people dress more outragously now in show biz, for sure and nobody cares and an older man who made such astonishing contributions to world literature should certainly be allowed a few eccentricities.

Ray was my #1 hero as a kid. I stole one of his storylines and used it as a story for my grade 5 teacher. It was way too smart for a kid to have written, the teacher didn't mention it. He stayed in theta and said "If you don't love it, don't do it." Much later I discovered how Ray stood up to the McCarthyites. Guts, backbone, dedication, romance, love, and inspired writing.

' The Great Pumpkin' anecdote is wonderful. the first of many here.... What an inspirational man !

Bradbury is always so mesmerizing, just so magical.

I really knew Ray Bradbury! I quoted the title of this book to him, "Too Soon From the Cave, Too Far from the Stars." His eyes lit up, and he was so excited that I knew this title! He gave me a couple of free books as a reward.

beautiful interview and such a lovely man

fantastic interview. Ms. Martinson was well prepared and Mr. Bradbury was amazing as usual

I met Ray the first time in 1976 at San Diego City College. He spoke after Richard Armour, the most humorist of humorists. Ray met us on the grass outside and signed my copy of I Sing the Body Electric, which I still have. Very energetic and very excited about the recent Viking landing on Mars. He was 56 but very much in his prime. Saw him speak twice more, USD and SDSU, within a few years after. A big influence in my life.

Ray Bradbury never missed delivering the keynote at the Santa Barbara Writers Conference and for 20 of those years, I got hear his remarks that always launched the auditorium filled w/ SBWC writersinto another memorable week of learning craft....Here he's recovering from some serious health issues that he kept writing his way through....#thepowerofStorytellers 💟✍🦾

Connie this was a GREAT interview.You always bring new info to your audience and your readers .I must open my big mouth my dear boss, friend and producer.We worked hard, 9 shows back to back, 2 with Ray then Sam Wells who wrote Ray's auto biog.We had stacks of books for Ray to autograph to us,for friends, others to sign.You have always been so generous with me, encouraging me to build my friendship with my hero,I did.Why did the editor lose our credit roll on transfer to youtube. I was so proud

Love this interview with Ray Bradbury;don't forget to notice his Halloween tie!

I was lucky enough to interview Ray Bradbury early in my journalism career. He was very interesting and said a couple things that have stuck with me all of these years.

Fantastic interview of a truly great creative spirit!

Writers should get 10 times the salary of actors, directors and producers! We live in a seriously dumb world.

Good interview

The entire shallow low-brow movie industry owes much of its success to the brilliant writers who come up with all the key ideas.

How I'd love to be a fly on the wall at a lunch with Ray Bradbury and Chuck Jones

At 23.38 Ray mentions 'sails' or 'sells' and about how valuable they are. But I have not idea what these are that Walt gave him? What are sails or sells? Fantastic interview.
