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

We had a dog, Lucky, who was fourteen years old. For the last year of his life, I would take him on these walks that were long but didn't cover much distance.

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

I made a drawing for a book I'm working . It's a little drawing of a girl who's ashamed and upset and hides in the corner of the closet. It's the kind of drawing that I feel like I'm really good at.

I think we're conditioned by watching movies.

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

It's one of my favorite times of day. I'll have an array of notes, things that I want to think about. Something will start to take shape, and I'll play around with it. It's not usually an intense time. It's sort of a playful time. But it's when some really good thoughts arise.
