Once I'm given an idea for a story I have a million ideas on how it should be illustrated, but I don't have a big shoebox full of unfinished ideas.

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.

I can draw pencil lines to show something is moving, but if I'm writing, I struggle with how to write it. The boy ran down the hallway? The boy ran quickly down the hallway? The boy ran down the marble hallway? I agonize over the words. So my editor works very hard. I'm lucky to have her.

In my loneliness…I found you
In my darkness... I found you
In my insanity…. I found you
In the chaos of the world... you and I found love
But you and I will always remain an unfinished story!

America needs a big idea that plays to its strength. It should look to national service.

They're stealing my ideas. They're imitating my shots.
