I don't like two stories. I like one story. I never grew up with stairs. I like to stick to what I know.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wouldn't like to just do one story or one type of stories all the time.
I used to tell my three younger siblings stories because that was my household chore, and I told long stories in installments because it was easier and more fun than making up a new story every night. I loved it.
I never like to put myself in the stories; in 'Lost in the City,' there are fourteen stories, and there's only one, 'The First Day,' about a little girl going to school, that has anything to do with me.
I get tired of stories that keep going and going and never get anywhere. It's like a promise that's never fulfilled. Stories need endings. Otherwise, they aren't really stories. Just pages.
I like stories that leave you wanting more, leave you wondering, but don't tell you everything.
I like small, domestic stories.
I love storytelling so for me to get behind a story and get in there early in its infancy and kind of develop it in the early stages was something I really wanted to be a part of.
I have a two-story house and a bad memory, so I'm up and down those stairs all the time. That's my exercise.
I like all kinds of stories, and I usually work on several stories at once. When I run out of gas on one, I start work on the other.
I started as a writer for magazines, and soon they asked me to illustrate my stories. I started from the bottom of the bottom. And I climbed the stairs, one by one.
