I know I'm still young and there's a lot of time for things to happen, but sometimes I think there is something about me that's wrong, that I'm not the kind of person anyone can fall in love with, and that I'll always just be alone.

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

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'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.

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

I [drinking coffee] for about an hour, I get dressed and go down in my studio, and that's a different kind of working.
