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

If I could make a career out of drawing little girls hiding in corners, I would do really well.

In some ways I'm very structured.

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.

I love when I'm trying to do something I don't know how to do, and it kind of figures itself out along the way. And that means messing up a lot. That means throwing away a lot of drawings.

I'm German, after all.

I don't like things to be static when I'm working.
