Growing up, I was a giant KISS fan, and the truth is the record I had was 'Rock and Roll Over,' and there wasn't even a clear picture of them in the packaging! So I really had no idea what they looked like; I just loved their music.
I keep a picture of my beloved children close by. Also, water and plenty of pads and pens.
It seemed to me that this might be a great pageant, which would give a chance for a very interesting picture.
I'm always in my pajamas, unless I know for a fact that people are taking my picture.

A picture book is a small door to the enormous world of the visual arts, and they're often the first art a young person sees.
I had tried writing novels for many years, and they always escaped me. For a long time, I thought, 'It's just not in me to write a novel. It's not something I'm able to do.'
