Because love is so enormous, the only thing you can think of doing is swallowing the person that you love entirely.

How do you write for children? I really have never figured that out. So I decided to just ignore it

I do not remember any proper children's books in my childhood. I was not exposed to them.

I think people should be given a test much like driver's tests as to whether they're capable of being parents! It's an art form. I talk a lot. And I think a lot. And I draw a lot. But never in a million years would I have been a parent. That's just work that's too hard.

Children surviving childhood is my obsessive theme and my life's concern.

You can start making up any kind of story if you want to.

From their earliest years children live on familiar terms with disrupting emotions, fear and anxiety are an intrinsic part of their everyday lives, they continually cope with frustrations as best they can. And it is through fantasy that children achieve catharsis. It is the best means they have for taming Wild Things.
