In other words, the people who populate my books are more than caricatures.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you write a book, you're an expert, and people look at you in a different way.
People are looking for inspiration, and my books are sometimes the vehicles of what people are looking for.
For most of my career I illustrated books for other people.
I always have had a slightly jaundiced view about people who promote books about themselves.
I did theatrical caricatures.
I try to picture my books being acted out.
When I was growing up, a lot of books affected me, but I never wrote letters to the author or anything like that. I'm always mindful that there are probably a whole bunch of people reading my books like that, too.
People who think my books are autobiographical, which they're not, credit me with having a much better memory than I do. I do, however, have a powerful imagination.
The folks who read my books are so passionate about each one of them that the people making my movies are more afraid of my readership than they are of me.
If my books appear to a reader to be oversimplified, then you shouldn't read them: You're not the audience!
