Ray Bradbury was the first author that I was really exposed to back in grade school. I'm a big Philip K. Dick fan, but the emotion and humanity that Bradbury brings to his stories and the way he uses sci-fi to get at the human heart is something that's unique and for me incredibly influential.
Good suits don't come from anywhere, though - I mainly wear Armani, Louis Vuitton and Burberry.
My mother was a housewife but she was also an artist. My father was an electrical engineer.
