I just wanted to compile these stories about growing up with my father and I wanted people to be able to enjoy them individually, but also the entire book as a whole.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As a child, I loved story books and wanted to be in them so desperately and live the stories.
Storybooks were always a big part of my imagination, and my childhood and adolescence.
I still feel, as I did when I was six or seven, that books are simply the best way to experience a story.
I'd love to do a whole series of stories and have them collected into books.
I have always loved story - I escaped within it as a child, I read every day, I love figuring out the complex layers of an author's work.
When I was a kid, the book that I liked the most was 'Aesop's Fables.' There was a version of it that my father read stories to us kids out of. I liked the idea of the short story format.
I wanted to hold onto and exploit the power of narrative. This is not only a book about a great storyteller, but there have to be stories about the storyteller.
I really strive to bring something new to each book. I don't want to write the same book over and over again.
I'm not setting out to adapt books and work with books, but when really amazing stories come to you in that form, it's really hard to turn away from that.
If you could have a book called My Favorite Six Stories, I don't think I'd have trouble doing that.
