I think we're conditioned by watching movies.

I creep over to my chair and sit there with my notebook and my thermos of coffee. It's my best time for thinking, because I haven't started thinking about anything else yet, and the thoughts can kind of go in and out of my head.

I felt ten years old and a thousand years old, but I didn't know how to be my own age. I had never felt that way before, but now I feel like that a lot.

I do love that discovery of when you're trying to figure out how to make something work, and it happens in a way that you didn't predict.

I don't want to make myself sound that spontaneous, because I'm not.

I generally have an idea where I want to go, but I don't know how I'm going to get there.

I made a drawing for a book I'm working . It's a little drawing of a girl who's ashamed and upset and hides in the corner of the closet. It's the kind of drawing that I feel like I'm really good at.
