In the bedroom time I have generated thoughts, and then in the studio I take those thoughts and try to shape them into something.

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

I remember when I was working on All Alone in the Universe, and Robin Roy was my editor. When I first sent it to her, she said kids this age don't want pictures in their books.

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

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