Okay, so I’m constantly accused of being mentally deranged. That’s fine. I am. I admit it. But I try to put it to good use. Animation allows me to do that. I’m not a destructive or violent mentally deranged. I’m thankful for that. I”m able to bring productions in on time and under budget. Run huge teams of creatives ( mostly deranged artists like myself). I feel I’m a good dad in the “Dick Van Dyke dad in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” sort of way.”
I’m crazy, and crazy enough to sell it. It has served me well. Interacting with people on a daily basis, thats a whole ‘nother ball of wax. Challenging for me. I don’t do parties. I’m not social. I have little patience for small talk and social for social sake. Maybe I analyze it too much, but I’m very particular about how I spend my time. Too honest for my own good. I offend due to my frank comments. It’s not that I don’t like people, I do. ( well, most people). And you will know it if I don’t. I have trouble hiding it.
Why am I sharing this today? I don’t know.
Maybe because I’m mentally deranged.

It’s both strange and reassuring to find how closely I identify with your posts. I’m glad I’m not alone in feeling that shyness does not equal a dislike for or distrust of other people. It would be pretty difficult for you to have pulled off two fantastic TV shows if you weren’t able to identify with other people, both in the production team *and* in the audience.
Thanks as always for sharing, even if you aren’t sure why.
