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.

I think I always knew that I would do something with art because it was the one thing that I knew I was really good at.

If you lose your purpose ... it's like you're broken.

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.

As I look out at all of you gathered here, I want to say that I don't see a room full of Parisians in top hats and diamonds and silk dresses. I don't see bankers and housewives and store clerks. No. I address you all tonight as you truly are: wizards, mermaids, travelers, adventurers, and magicians. You are the true dreamers.

Maybe we are all cabinets of wonders.

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