Growing up, I enjoyed drawing, but it was always in the service of an idea. I drew all the time, and I enjoyed making.

I knew I wanted to be an artist at age 5 or 6. I always drew. At 8, I was permitted to study.

I ended up reading comics and just started drawing at a very young age. By high school, I was putting together longer stories. In college, I started doing strips for the newspaper and doing mini-comics. It sort of grew in scope and scale over time.

I knew from the age of five what I wanted to do. The one thing I could do was draw. I couldn't draw that much better than some of the other kids, but I cared more and I wanted it badly.

I am among the few who continue to draw after childhood is ended, continuing and perfecting childhood drawing - without the traditional interruption of academic training.

Drawing was a cheap way for me to express myself. It gave a focus to my thinking and my life from a very early age.

From the time I was three or four years old, I drew all the time. Drew all the time, every second.

I've been taking art lessons since I was little, and I've always drawn. I think in pictures.

I've been drawing my whole life. My mom says my sister and I were drawing by age 1. Animation seems a real, natural extension of drawing as a way of telling a story visually.
