Impressing a bunch of snooty teenagers is a pretty lame life goal to have.

I'm one of those people with restless hands. I need to be doodling, or biting my nails, or making socks.

Knitting is repetitive, rewarding, and calms me down like a warm bath. But it takes up juuuust enough brainspace that I can't come up with ideas. Which is too bad, because I love multitasking.

I could lose myself forever in that dark hair and those sweet love handles.

You may look normal like everyone else, but you're not. Not on the inside.

I think sometimes older people wind up being a little childlike. They've done their time, now they get to do what they want.

Animation taught me to draw quickly and clearly and to communicate a character's feelings through his or her body language and facial expressions.

Be careful of your moods and feelings, for there is an unbroken connection between your feelings and your visible world.

Here I am at the end of the road and at the top of the heap.

This is my religion. I take long breaks now when I don't perform and I am not myself when I am not performing.
