I found that I was much more interested in writing and that I didn't like the illustrating at all. I had always been the hardest on myself when I drew and painted. I am not hard on myself when I write. I like what I write, so it is a much happier process.

The writing process isn't something I'm in love with. I'm an illustrator who writes.

I love illustrating for other writers because I am given stories I never would have thought of, and my work as an illustrator is always in support of the story.

Sometimes I wish the writing and drawing were more integrated.

Every writer is going to end up drawing from their own experiences in one way or another.

Writing is largely about time, while visual art is largely about space.

I had never really thought of myself as a writer; any writing I had done was just to give myself something to draw.

Writers are articulate. Artists find it more difficult.

I prefer drawing the things I've written to handing them off to another artist. Turns out I'm a huge control freak - and because I write in thumbnails, the art is already happening by the time I start writing!

Seriously, you know - I love to write. I enjoy the process; I enjoy the different processes, because writing for film and television and graphic novels is all very different. So I've never had the feeling of, 'Oh, you have to do this one thing.'
