I don't believe in things literally for children. That's a reduction.

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

I wish you all good things. Live your life, live your life, live your life.

All I liked to do when I was a kid was draw. My childhood was like my adult life: drawing pictures with my brother, putting the comics up on the glass window, and tracing the characters onto tracing paper or drawing paper and then coloring them. That and making things was all we ever did.

My father could be very witty, even if the humor was always on the darker side of irony.

I wanted my wild things to be frightening.

If you're making it up, make it up good. And then believe in what you made up.
