I'll Never Admit That I'm An Actor,

If I Revise A Children's Book, If I'm Spending Three Hours On The First Draft, I'm Probably Spending 30 Minutes Revising It. I Mean, Come On! But To Redo A Painting? That's Hard Work.

I Was Very Surprised How Many People Were Earnestly Reminiscing About The '80s. It's Such A Stupid Thing To Do, Like, To Be Honestly Invested In Nostalgia. It Never Even Occurred To Me To Do That.

The Illustrators Work So Much Harder On The Books Than The Writers Do. I Mean, That's So Much Work Doing What They Do, And It's Terrible For Them.

So My Reaction To Hearing This Corny-ass, Horrible Song ["with Arms Wide Open" By Creed] Is Violent, Uncontrollable, Sustained Weeping.

Whatever Expectations I Had For Myself, None Of Them Have Come To Pass. I Grew Up Thinking I Was Going To Be An Actor, Which I Am. But I Thought I'd Be A Very Serious Sort Of Shakespearean Guy Going From Town To Town Having Sex With Various Juliets All Over The Country.
