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

I know if I did that [career as painter] all the time I would get tired of it.

I'm structured with time.

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

Some of it just involved thinking about, for example, the different kinds of science, what chemistry is.

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

By the time I finished the book [All Alone in the Universe], Robin Roy was saying, "More pictures!"
