Haha, I figured my name would probably pop up in this.
Let me explain, that 2,000 autographs, does not mean, I know or have written to or met 2,000 Individual celebrities. with a typical request, I like to request four autographs from each person, my goal is to pass my collection down to my kids one day, and I'd like to give one to each of them if they want to start up their own collection.
And I don't write to every person who replies TTM, I only write to people who I admire, and being an aspiring performer myself, I admire a lot of people for different reasons.
So you really should get your facts straight before assuming something about someone you don't even know.
& that's all I'm gonna say about it.
