My dad introduced me to Christopher's work when I was a kid. We talked about it for hours. Today I'm thinking of both of them.

Christopher once said something in an interview that changed how I thought about my own work. I've never forgotten it.

I met Christopher once, very briefly, and they were kind to a nervous stranger. That's what I'll remember.
