I - I try to do as much as I can, wherever I am. So, at the farm, I'm always thinking of some new project, some new thing I can do.

As a child, I spent a lot of time with things like Lego, building trains, cars, complex structures, and I really liked that.

For about two years, I was a little wild. I was out partying, having adventures.

The rest of my work, besides sketching and keeping a diary, which was the most troublesome of all, consisted in making geological and zoological collections.

Sendak's 1963 classic 'Where The Wild Things Are' has long been a favorite of mine because of the creative imagery, fantastic adventures and, most of all, because of how this timeless story shows us that children need to be free to roam, explore and invent in order to understand their place in the world that surrounds them.

And what I liked the most about any project was that when it was good, you had a bunch of people trying to accomplish something together who were all acting together as one - that's the most exciting time for me.

I've always been a creative workaholic. I have never had a period of my life where I didn't have at least half a dozen projects going on at once.

I had a project for my life which involved 10 years of wandering, then some years of medical studies and, if any time was left, the great adventure of physics.

While in college, I used to get my ideas from photographs in 'National Geographic.' I started painting palm trees and motorboats.
