Adults are the real monsters.

We sometimes need to create unreal monsters and bogies to stand in for all the things we fear in our real lives.

Kids, fiction is the truth inside the lie, and the truth of this fiction is simple enough: the magic exists.

The worst advice? 'Don't listen to the critics.' I think that you really ought to listen to the critics, because sometimes they're telling you something is broken that you can fix.

Life turns on a dime.

It's a tough life if you don't weaken.

And I guess you judge how well you're doing by how well you sleep at night... and what your dreams are like.
