One of my favorite moments in that book [As Easy as Falling Off the Face of the Earth] was when something happened that I had no idea was going to happen.

Ideas mostly come from the work itself. Often when I'm drawing, the words will be bouncing around in my head, and when I'm writing, ideas about the drawing happen.

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

I do like to be surprised.

I creep over to my chair and sit there with my notebook and my thermos of coffee. It's my best time for thinking, because I haven't started thinking about anything else yet, and the thoughts can kind of go in and out of my head.

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

I'm structured with time.
