You can't write a children's book that takes more than five or six minutes to read, because it will drive the parents batty. It has to be compact. Nobody thinks about the parents when they write these stupid books. I could write longer children's books, but it would actually be bad if I did.

My process is surprisingly straightforward. I find myself with little to do over a stretch of time and I say, "I should write children's books today." Then I sit down and write a children's book, and if it takes more than, realistically, three hours, I feel like I've done something wrong.

Part of what's exciting to me about my career is the constant looking forward. Whenever I finish one project, I am looking to what's next.

It doesn't matter what you're chasing, when you get there you're gonna be like, "Oh, is this all? It kind of sucks."

The global business climate is likewhatever, dude.

I hope you die.... P.S. If you do die, I'm going to go to the funeral and finger your corpse.

I take my coffee like I take my women... strong... black... and proud.
