My life is storytelling. I believe in stories, in their incredible power to keep people alive, to keep the living alive, and the dead.
For me, the way to approach a subject such as Vietnam is through storytelling.

Storytelling is the essential human activity. The harder the situation, the more essential it is.
War is a fundamental aspect of human existence. It's good to know what war entails and what the human sacrifice is.
