Childhood is cannibals and psychotics vomiting in your mouth!

I was sickly as a child and gravitated to books and drawing. During my early teen years, I spent hundreds of hours at my window, sketching neighborhood children at play. I sketched and listened, and those notebooks became the fertile field of my work later on. There is not a book I have written or a picture I have drawn that does not, in some way, owe them its existence.

I never set out to write books for children. I don't have a feeling that I'm gonna save children or my life is devoted.

I don't know how to write a children's book.

Parents shouldn't assume children are made out of sugar candy and will break and collapse instantly. Kids don't. We do.

All I wanted was to be straight so my parents could be happy. They never, never, never knew.

I want to be alone and work until the day my heads hits the drawing table and I'm dead. Kaput. I feel very much like I want to be with my brother and sister again. They're nowhere. I know they're nowhere and they don't exist, but if nowhere means that's where they are, that's where I want to be.
