The recording was made in a car plying the Los Angeles freeways between Bradbury's home in West L.A. and Chapman College in Orange County. Potts and a fellow student named Chadd Coates were taking Bradbury to present a lecture. Bradbury had a lot of advice for Lisa and Chadd. On tape we get to hear Bradbury telling the students about the keys to friendship, why he was afraid of himself and would never drive, his keys to writing and telling a story, why Mars was the center of his fascination, what's the secret to love, and why he called himself \"a madman\". Ray Bradbury's Advice \"You find a few other nuts like yourself, and they're your friends for a lifetime.\" \"That's what friends are, the people who share your crazy outlook and protect you from the world.\" \" I am a dedicated madman, and that becomes its own training.\" \"If you have to ask yourself whether or not you love a girl or you love a boy, forget it. You don't.\" \"You either feel a story and need to write it, or you better not write it.\" Get more never before heard excerpts from Ray Bradbury on our website Subscribe for new episodes every other Tuesday (it's free) Executive Producer: David Gerlach Animator: Patrick Smith Audio Producer: Amy Drozdowska Watch our previous episodes: Dolly Parton on Getting Dirty Lou Reed on Guns & Ammo BB King on The Blues Elliott Smith on Freaks Robin Williams on Masks Wayne Coyne on Living with Death Maya Angelou on Con Men Bette Davis on The Sexes Michael Jackson on Godliness Jimi Hendrix on The Experience Meryl Streep on Beauty Philip Seymour Hoffman on Happiness David Bowie on Stardust Gene Wilder on The Truth John Lennon on Love Johnny Cash on The Gospel Heath Ledger on Role Playing Tupac on Life and Death Kurt Cobain on Identity Janis Joplin on Rejection Barry White on Making Love Maurice Sendak on Being a Kid Carol Burnett on Finding Home Grace Kelly on JFK Farrah Fawcett on Stiletto Power Beastie Boys on Being Stupid David Foster Wallace on Ambition Wilt Chamberlain on Tall Tales Larry King on Getting Seduced Jim Morrison on Why Fat is Beautiful Music You Heard Chris Zabriskie \"Readers!
