It was an accident of circumstance that I never married.

It's no accident that I'm not married and don't have kids yet.

I know some children's writers write for specific children, or for the children they once were, but I never have. I just thought children might like my sort of visual humour.

The historian's job is to aggrandize, promoting accident to inevitability and innocuous circumstance to portent.

I've never quite worked out how to do holidays. I've got a house in France which I suppose is a kind of holiday house. But it's really only so I can go on drawing when I get there. I'm never far away from the feeling that I want to be getting on with something.

I don't feel as if I belong to an age group.
