I've always loved pigs: the shape of them, the look of them, and the fact that they are so intelligent.

Why is my needle stuck in childhood? I don't know why. I guess it's because that's where my heart is.

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.

Knowledge is the driving force that puts creative passion to work.

We're supposed to be civilized. We're supposed to go to work every day. We're supposed to be nice to our friends and send Christmas cards to our parents.

I would infinitely prefer a daughter.

I was a very sickly child. My parents were immigrants. They were not decorous. They were not discreet. They always thought I was gonna die.
