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.

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 don't feel like it's something I invented myself, rather something I absorbed and continue to do.

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

I knew what infinity was. Being a previous art student, I knew about some art concepts.

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.

It really does feel, partly because of graphic novels kids read, like there's a lot of freedom with how you can use both images and words, because we think in both of those ways.
