When you hide another story in a story, that’s the story I am telling the children.

I believe there is no part of our lives, our adult as well as child life, when we're not fantasizing, but we prefer to relegate fantasy to children, as though it were some tomfoolery only fit for the immature minds of the young. Children do live in fantasy and reality; they move back and forth very easily in a way we no longer remember how to do.

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

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.

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

That's what art is. You don't make up stories. You live your life.

I'm scared of watching a TV show about vampires. I can't fall asleep.
