I write for kids because I think the most interesting (and most humorous) stories come from people’s childhoods. When I was writing ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid,’ I had a blast talking on the phone to my younger brother, Patrick, remembering all of the things that happened to our family when we were growing up Picture Quote #1

A military childhood in the 1950s was very much informed by WWII. My brothers and I often heard stories from our dad - and from other kids - about things that had happened to their dads.

I love the stories of changelings and the thought that the Fey were these ancient, capricious creatures who were tricky and dangerous. I’ve always preferred the Brothers Grimm faery tales to the Disney fairy tales Picture Quote #1

In America, I am brown; I’m ‘of colour’, so I would be offered Latin roles, and I’ve fought against that. I don’t want to be put in a category, to be just offered the same sort of thing. For me, it’s all about different roles, telling the stories of the great writers Picture Quote #1

I painted the Astor-Victoria sign seven times, and it’s 395 feet wide and 58 feet high. I dropped a gallon of purple paint on Seventh Avenue and 47th Street from 15 stories up and didn’t kill anybody. I dropped a brush at Columbus Circle. It fell on a guy’s camel-hair coat Picture Quote #1

Just like the cast of a great movie and the career of great athletes few success stories are a one man show. Build your team and grow Picture Quote #1
