I have a notebook that is filled to the brim with my dreams and ideas and goals and aspirations.

I dreamed of having a book of my own, of writing one that I could put on a shelf.

There are so many books I want to read. Difficult books. That's what I intend to do and what I'm longing for.

I always wanted to write for children. When I was growing up, we were really poor. My mother had left, and it was all a mess. So I lived in my head a lot, and I would get lots of books for Christmas - from librarians and teachers - and they just fed my imagination.

My dream scenario would be that you could go into a bookshop, examine copies of every book in print that they're able to offer, then for a fee have them produce in a minute or two a beautiful finished copy in a dust jacket that you would pay for and take home.

Books that distribute things... with as daring a freedom as we use in dreams, put us on our feet again.

There are so many projects on my Dream List. I have so many things in the works, just like little ideas or collections of things or things I write or even just a title of something.

Music, architecture and pictures have always been my passions, and all that material wealth has meant for me, is being able to have some of the pictures I liked.

For many, many years, I thought that I wasn't good enough or that I would never be able to create something that could touch other people the way books have touched me. There's nothing better than having a lifelong dream come true.

I love coloring books. I keep some by my bed.
