We're Animals. We're Violent.

I Think People Should Be Given A Test Much Like Driver's Tests As To Whether They're Capable Of Being Parents! It's An Art Form. I Talk A Lot. And I Think A Lot. And I Draw A Lot. But Never In A Million Years Would I Have Been A Parent. That's Just Work That's Too Hard.

I Don't Believe In An Afterlife But I Still Fully Expect To See My Brother Again.

In Plain Terms, A Child Is A Complicated Creature Who Can Drive You Crazy. There's A Cruelty To Childhood, There's An Anger.

I'm Totally Crazy, I Know That. I Don't Say That To Be A Smartass, But I Know That That's The Very Essence Of What Makes My Work Good. And I Know My Work Is Good. Not Everybody Likes It, That's Fine. I Don't Do It For Everybody. Or Anybody. I Do It Because I Can't Not Do It.

Grown-ups Desperately Need To Feel Safe, And Then They Project Onto The Kids. But What None Of Us Seem To Realize Is How Smart Kids Are. They Don’t Like What We Write For Them, What We Dish Up For Them, Because It’s Vapid, So They’ll Go For The Hard Words, They’ll Go For The Hard Concepts, They’ll Go For The Stuff Where They Can Learn Something. Not Didactic Things, But Passionate Things.
