Who Was Ray Bradbury?

While reading the interview, I noticed some interesting things about Bradbury: His diction reflected his writing style, he seemed very carefree and eccentric, and he seemed to have a love for the unconventional. He struck me as the kind of person I would enjoy playing golf with, or sharing a cup of coffee. His thoughts were deep, and he appeared to have an enlightened wisdom, which was easily recognizable by his mannerisms.

Yet he also seemed like an average guy. He used the phrase "you know" a lot when he talked. He wasn't anal about grammar or literary correctness. He talked about sharing beers with some of his Irish friends on his spare time. His magnanimity wasn't concealed behind his sincerity, and I would love to meet him some day.
