I imagine there's a level of narcissism that goes into thinking you're enough.

My absolute favorite growing up was Super Friends. The assemblage of so many mighty heroes in one place was, to me, mind-blowing. It was Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Aquaman, and then sometimes Hawkman and some other, lesser heroes.

Whatever I write I publish. Because that's where the money is.

Things you never thought were going to turn into something end up being the most important things in your life. You have to learn to not try to control it.

Whatever expectations I had for myself, none of them have come to pass. I grew up thinking I was going to be an actor, which I am. But I thought I'd be a very serious sort of Shakespearean guy going from town to town having sex with various Juliets all over the country.

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.
