I think from an early age I was aware of how a camera can tell a story, how a movie camera can affect how the narrative is told.

Fairy tales only happen in movies." -George Melies from The Invention of Hugo Cabret

In that moment, the machinery of the world lined up. Somewhere a clock struck midnight, and Hugo's future seemed to fall perfectly into place.

The idea of going to the movies made Hugo remember something Father had once told him about going to the movies when he was just a boy, when the movies were new. Hugo's father had stepped into a dark room, and on a white screen he had seen a rocket fly right into the eye of the man in the moon. Father said he had never experienced anything like it. It had been like seeing his dreams in the middle of the day.

It's fun to see how other artists adapt my work.

I think when I'm drawing, I'm seeing what's happening on the page almost as if it were unfolding like a movie in my head.
