A friend suggested that I get a job at a children's book store so I could meet kids and read books, and that turned out to be the single best bit of advice I've ever gotten.

Maybe we're all cabinets of wonders.

Once I'm given an idea for a story I have a million ideas on how it should be illustrated, but I don't have a big shoebox full of unfinished ideas.

If you've ever wondered where your dreams come from when you go to sleep at night, just look around. This is where they are made.

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.

Having an eye patch actually makes it easier to look through a camera - I don't have to close one eye like everyone else.

Well, everything surprises me about the writing process because illustrating comes much more naturally to me than writing does.
