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.

There will be scenes in a movie where people are walking through the park, or through a forest, and you're seeing the flickering leaves around them, and they're walking, but you're also hearing their words. It's an interaction between where they are and what they're saying that's both visual and verbal.

With most of my books, there are some parts that pop up right away, and other parts I have to wait for.

I think we're conditioned by watching movies.

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

A long time ago, I had an idea to make a book for preschoolers who had older siblings who were going to school.

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