I Think When I'm Drawing,

I Love Illustrating For Other Writers Because I Am Given Stories I Never Would Have Thought Of, And My Work As An Illustrator Is Always In Support Of The Story.

I Address You All Tonight For Who You Truly Are: Wizards, Mermaids, Travelers, Adventurers, And Magicians. You Are The True Dreamers.

But I'm A Fairly Mechanical Worker - I Tend Not To Think About Themes So Much As Plot. I Want To Get The Feeling Right. If It's Moving Through Tunnels, I Ask Myself, What Is It Like To Move Through Tunnels?

I Love Being An Illustrator Because I Get To Read Really Great Stories, Work With Amazing People, Travel And See Places I Never Would've Seen. And I Get To Draw All The Time.

The Idea Of Going To The Movies Made Hugo Remember Something Father Had Once Told Him About Going To The Movies When He Was Just A Boy, When The Movies Were New. Hugo's Father Had Stepped Into A Dark Room, And On A White Screen He Had Seen A Rocket Fly Right Into The Eye Of The Man In The Moon. Father Said He Had Never Experienced Anything Like It. It Had Been Like Seeing His Dreams In The Middle Of The Day.
