Because you don't tell us what you have, it's hard to respond without wasting time duplicating information you may already have.

But here are some tips:

Read his books, stories and poetry carefully. His writing rewards investigation.

Read all his forwards, introductions and afterwords. He has a lot of informtion in those parts of his books and collections.

Do a Google search on Ray Bradbury interviews (or some variable). Ray's interviews are always interesting, as he's very creative and opinionated.

There are actually quite a few books on Bradbury and his writing:
