Ray Bradbury has died at age 91.
Here's an interview with him (undated, but uploaded in 2008).
A thing that begins when you're 3 and 6 and 10 and 12 winds up in your fictions when you're in your 30s. . . .
The reason why my books are popular: because they know I'm a lover. . . .
Love what you do, and do what you love. Don't listen to anyone else who tells you not to do it. You do what you want, what you love. . . .
I'm going to have a t-shirt made — it says: "Stand at the top of the cliff, and jump off, and build your wings on the way down."
We are all the sons and the daughters of time. So I thank the universe for making life on earth and allowing me to come alive here.

Of course, you shouldn't 'do what you love' because that's "an excellecnt recipe for frustration and poverty".
A great writer and a beautiful life -- thank you for posting that!
LemmusLemmus: I was wondering if anyone would catch that contradiction!
John: That ain't much of a comeback.
It wasn't a comeback at all. It was a statement.
