My mom used to make everything. She had a great garden and composted and made everything from scratch - peanut butter, bread, jelly, everything. I don't know how she did it because all those things take time and love and labour. I only do half the stuff she does - but there's still time.

My mother could do absolutely anything. She was like Martha Stewart before such a thing existed.

My mom reminds me that all things are possible.

I made all sorts of things: drawings, sculptures - I was doing origami before I even knew the word. I was constantly creating.

It is a great piece of folly to attempt to make anything out of my early life.

I always knew I wanted to create. I used to sit in my room for hours drawing and making things. I once got into trouble for cutting up my mother's lampshades to make a dress. I was three.

I love the creative process and being able to build something out of nothing.

I decided to be an inventor when I was five. My parents had given me a few various enrichment toys like erector sets, and for some reason I had the idea that if I put things together just the right way, I could create the intended effect.

My mother was the most creative, fantastic person and would come up with great things for us to do. She'd buy art supplies and all of us would sit around painting. I was lucky.
