I write books, I write for comic books, I give lectures... I live. And when the opportunity comes to do a picture, I do a picture.

I'm always taking pictures and travelling with a camera and have so many photos that I've done a book.

For most of my career I illustrated books for other people.

The great thing about making picture books is that you can make absolutely anything you want happen. It's a bit like making a film, but you don't need lots of money for actors and costumes - you just need pens, paper, and your imagination.

I've figured out in the course of my life that the one thing I'm good at doing is writing books, and it would be crazy to trade that in for something else.

I spend a lot of time writing. I get inspiration from texts rather than images.

I like writing my own stuff. If a book came along I would maybe do that.

I've always wanted to do a photo book, but I've never done one because I've never felt ready; I just didn't feel my work was good enough.

I'm an author. And writers write books. And writing books is a full-time career.
