I have been drawing all my life.

I want a nice picture book with 12 pictures - I do my best with that format.

When I make a book, I make it for the child and not for the parent - no jokes in it for the parents!

Each book first begins with a little idea.

Now, I had been drawing all this time - especially in France of course - so, when I came back, my father gave me the chance to do a cover for one of the books he published.

I did about 2000 covers altogether, for all sorts of books - from Shakespeare to James Bond - and I always had the idea that I must give 100%, no matter who the author was.

I come from a family of business people, but I had the idea I wanted to become an artist.

I thought it would be very nice to become Picasso or Rembrandt, or a van Gogh.

But we discovered that, although I liked publishing, the commercial side meant nothing at all to me.

I thought it was amazing to work with authors, to get a manuscript and try to make up a cover for it.

My father realised that for me to become a publisher in his firm would have been the end of the firm!

Every day's a negotiation and sometimes it's done with guns.

The beauty of a bright new day!

Live brightly.

I could be the ceaseless mist that fogs your colourless eyes when you're lost in your universes.

A Friend is one who incessantly pays us the compliment of expecting from us all the virtues, and who can appreciate them in us.

The thing about seeing the big picture and being self-aware is knowing that it's not about you. It's about the big picture. It's not about you. It's not. This is not about you.

No one is more important to the future of our state than our teachers.

Don't bite off your head to spite your nose.

When it comes to fashion, I like to see individuality.
