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

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

I know I'm still young and there's a lot of time for things to happen, but sometimes I think there is something about me that's wrong, that I'm not the kind of person anyone can fall in love with, and that I'll always just be alone.

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.

I started thinking about [ what book is going to go next] when I was working on As Easy as Falling Off the Face of the Earth.

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

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