I try to be as clear and simple as I can be in my illustrations so that the child can tell what is going on and what the emotions are.
I am always who I am, and anyone who's known me forever will tell you that. I guess there's enough of a child in me that that's important.
My favourite songs from literally all my favourite albums are usually always track 10. Coincidence? Conspiracy? Illuminati? Time will tell.
I think you can tell when a New York show isn't shot in the city. It's so iconic and has such a specific energy.
I've got to tell you, I've played real characters before and people always bring up this word 'impersonation,' and I'm never entirely sure what it means.
Judaism for me is a sensibility of collective self-questioning and uncomfortable truth-telling. I feel a debt of responsibility to this past. It is why I am Jewish.
When people tell me I'm an artist, I say, 'What?' It's impossible for me to take the idea seriously.
In a very basic way, a prominent landmark such as Mt. Holyoke tells you where you are. They let you know that you're not the first person in a place.
Writers tell stories better, because they've had more practice, but everyone has a book in them. Yes, that old cliche.
I woke up every morning hoping to die and then spent the rest of the day wondering if maybe I was already dead because I couldn't even tell the difference.
Sometimes a book isn't a heartbreaking work of staggering genius. Sometimes it's the only story you knew how to tell.
Hollywood views regular people as children, and they think they're the smart ones who need to tell the idiots out there how to be.
There are some things that we know are just not as pleasant as the lies that we tell ourselves, and in that sense in order to endure existence everyone endures a certain amount of dishonesty in their everyday lives.
I remember clearly watching a 'Sooty Show' at a theatre and telling my mum I wanted to be up with the puppets, not in the audience.
I always wanted to perform. I remember being 5 years old and telling my parents to sit down as I was going to put on a play for them.
Our schools and colleges are turning out people who cannot feel fulfilled unless they are telling other people what to do.
I always want to make sure I'm telling a story about people that I care about.
For me, screenwriting is all about setting characters in motion and as a writer just chasing them. They should tell you what they'll do in any scene you put them in.
I was convinced you were not able to tell a consumer you can have a healthy fried chip or a good-tasting baked chip.
I enjoy total creative control right now. Nobody tells me to make it longer, shorter, better, sexier, more violent, whatever.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Never trust anyone who tells you how people come to trust him.
