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.

I address you all tonight for who you truly are: wizards, mermaids, travelers, adventurers, and magicians. You are the true dreamers.

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 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 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.

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.

I hope the snow covers everything so all the footsteps are silenced, and the whole city can be at peace.
