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

I'm heavily influenced by Edward Ardizzone, how he has people talking in little speech bubbles. I love those. And also Edward Gorey. Those are two of my favorite people.

Ideas mostly come from the work itself. Often when I'm drawing, the words will be bouncing around in my head, and when I'm writing, ideas about the drawing happen.

In some ways I'm very structured.

I love that when you're writing your mind is sort of figuring things out on its own, without you directing it.

The morning time is also a time when I look at what I did yesterday. That's often a jumping-off point for today.

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.
